30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

 

31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

 

32  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

 

33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

 

34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

 

35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

 

36  And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

 

37  For with God nothing shall be impossible.

 

38  And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
