Luke 1:26-35
Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O
favored one, the Lord is with you!”[b] 29 But she was
greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this
might be. 30 And the angel said to
her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb
and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He 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, 33 and
he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there
will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a
virgin?”[c]
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come
upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore
the child to be born[d] will be called holy—the Son of God.
