40. and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.

41. And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost;

42. and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?

44. For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45. And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.

46. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

47. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48. For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.

50. And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.

51. He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.

52. He hath put down princes from their thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.
