And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying, Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men. Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women. But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be. And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God. And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS. This man will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David. And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man? And having answered, the agent said to her, Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For no word from God will be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her. And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah, and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly. And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me? For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly. And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from Lord. And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed, because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy. And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him. He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart. He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men. He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty. He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy, just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age. And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house. Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias. And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.

And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house. And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying, Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men. Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women. But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be. And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God. And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS. This man will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David. And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man? And having answered, the agent said to her, Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For no word from God will be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her. And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah, and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly. And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me? For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly. And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from Lord. And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed, because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy. And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him. He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart. He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men. He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty. He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy, just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and his seed into the age. And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house. Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.

And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God. And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea. And all who heard stored up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of Lord was with him. And his father Zacharias was filled of Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed is Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people. And he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his boy David, just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us, to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered, the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us, without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him in piety and righteousness before him all our the days of our life. And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of Lord, to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins, because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us, to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace. And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
