And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. And Mary arose and went in those days into the hillcountry with haste, into a city of Judah. And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb! And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation. And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord, and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour; for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name; and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him. He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart. He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree. The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty. He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy toward Abraham and his offspring for ever, as he spoke to our fathers. And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. Now Elizabeths full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were about to call him Zachariah, after the name of his father. And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John. And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named. And he asked for a writingtablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled. And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God. And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hillcountry of Judaea. And all that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets of old, salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us, to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, the oath which he swore to Abraham our father, to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days. And thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
