21. And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
22. And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
23. And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24. And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
25. Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
26. And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29. Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
