Luke 1:26-38 ▼

26 And in the sixth moneth, the Angel Gabriel was sent from God, vnto a citie of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin, spoused to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie.

28 And the Angel went in vnto her, and sayde: Hayle thou that art freelie beloued, the Lorde is with thee, blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she sawe hym, she was troubled at his saying, and caste in her mynde what maner of salutation that shoulde be.

30 And the Angel saide vnto her: Feare not Marie, for thou hast founde grace with God.

31 For beholde, thou shalt conceaue in thy wombe, and beare a sonne, & shalt call his name Iesus.

32 He shalbe great, & shalbe called ye sonne of the hyest: & the Lord God shall geue vnto him the seate of his father Dauid:

33 And he shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kyngdome there shalbe none ende.

34 Then said Marie vnto ye Angel: How shall this be, seing I knowe not a man?

35 And the Angel aunswered, & saide vnto her: The holy ghost shall come vpon thee, & the power of the hyest shall ouershadowe thee. Therefore also that holy thyng whiche shalbe borne, shalbe called the sonne of God.

36 And beholde, thy cosin Elizabeth, she hath also conceaued a sonne in her olde age: & this is her sixth moneth, whiche was called barren.

37 For with God, shall nothyng be vnpossible.

38 And Marie saide: Beholde the handmayden of the Lorde, be it vnto me accordyng to thy worde. And the Angel departed from her.
