Luke 1:32-41 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

32. This one will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give 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 have not had sexual relations with a man?”

35. And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the one to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.

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

37. For nothing will be impossible with God.”

38. So Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s female slave! May it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

39. Now in those days Mary set out and traveled with haste into the hill country, to a town of Judah,

40. and entered into the house of Zechariah, and greeted Elizabeth.

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