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.
42. And she cried out with a loud shout and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43. And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44. For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy!
45. And blessed is she who believed that there will be a fulfillment to what was spoken to her from the Lord!”
46. And Mary said, “My soul exalts the Lord,
47. and my spirit has rejoiced greatly in God my Savior,
48. because he has looked upon the humble state of his female slave, for behold, from now on all generations will consider me blessed,
49. because the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50. And his mercy is for generation after generation to those who fear him.
51. He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has dispersed the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
