Luke 1:35-42 English Standard Version (ESV)

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 will be called holy—the Son of God.

36. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

37. For nothing will be impossible with God.”

38. And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

39. In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah,

40. and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

41. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

42. and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
