Jesus Christ » History of » Mary visits elisabeth (at hebron?)
Soon after this, Mary departed, and made an expeditious journey to a city of Juda, in the mountains: where entring into the house of Zacharias, she saluted Elizabeth. no sooner had Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, but the babe leap'd within her: read more.
and Elizabeth divinely inspired, broke out into this acclamation. "Blessed mother of the most blessed offspring! what an honour is this, that I should be visited by the mother of our Lord! no sooner did the sound of your salutation strike mine ear, than the babe leap'd within me for joy. blessed is she that has believed; for what she has heard from the Lord, shall be accomplished." Then Mary said, "my soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour, for he hath regarded the low estate of his servant: and future ages shall proclaim me blessed. the almighty hath distinguish'd me by the greatest marks of favour: his name be for ever reverenc'd. his mercy is on them that fear him, from generation to generation. he hath displayed the strength of his arm, and has confounded the proud by the devices of their hearts. he has cast down princes from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree, the needy he has furnished with plentiful enjoyments, and the rich he has reduced to poverty. he has taken Israel his servant into his protection, in pursuance of the mercy, which he promised to our forefathers, to Abraham, and to his posterity for ever." Now Mary stay'd about three months with Elizabeth, and then return'd to her own house.
