¹³ But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

¹⁵ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

KJVFor^G1063 he shall be^G2071^(G5704) great^G3173 in the sight^G1799 of the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 shall drink^G4095^(G5632) neither^G3364 wine^G3631 nor^G2532 strong drink^G4608; and^G2532 he shall be filled^G4130^(G5701) with the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, even^G2089 from^G1537 his^G846 mother's^G3384 womb^G2836.

KJVAnd^G2532 many^G4183 of the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474 shall he turn^G1994^(G5692) to^G1909 the Lord^G2962 their^G846 God^G2316.

KJVAnd^G2532 he^G846 shall go^G4281^(G5695) before^G1799 him^G846 in^G1722 the spirit^G4151 and^G2532 power^G1411 of Elias^G2243, to turn^G1994^(G5658) the hearts^G2588 of the fathers^G3962 to^G1909 the children^G5043, and^G2532 the disobedient^G545 to^G1722 the wisdom^G5428 of the just^G1342; to make ready^G2090^(G5658) a people^G2992 prepared^G2680^(G5772) for the Lord^G2962.

¹⁸ Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Zacharias^G2197 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 the angel^G32, Whereby^G2596^G5101 shall I know^G1097^(G5695) this^G5124? for^G1063 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) an old man^G4246, and^G2532 my^G3450 wife^G1135 well stricken^G4260^(G5761) in^G1722 years^G2250^G846.

¹⁹ The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

²⁰ Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you didn’t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), thou^G2071^(G5704) shalt be dumb^G4623^(G5723), and^G2532 not^G3361 able^G1410^(G5740) to speak^G2980^(G5658), until^G891 the day^G2250 that^G3739 these things^G5023 shall be performed^G1096^(G5638), because^G473^G3739 thou believest^G4100^(G5656) not^G3756 my^G3450 words^G3056, which^G3748 shall be fulfilled^G4137^(G5701) in^G1519 their^G846 season^G2540.

²³ When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, as soon as^G5613 the days^G2250 of his^G846 ministration^G3009 were accomplished^G4130^(G5681), he departed^G565^(G5627) to^G1519 his own^G846 house^G3624.

²⁵ “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”

KJV^G3754 Thus^G3779 hath^G4160 the Lord^G2962 dealt^G4160^(G5758) with me^G3427 in^G1722 the days^G2250 wherein^G3739 he looked on^G1896^(G5627) me, to take away^G851^(G5629) my^G3450 reproach^G3681 among^G1722 men^G444.

²⁸ Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”

KJVAnd^G2532 the angel^G32 came in^G1525^(G5631) unto^G4314 her^G846, and said^G2036^(G5627), Hail^G5463^(G5720), thou that art highly favoured^G5487^(G5772), the Lord^G2962 is with^G3326 thee^G4675: blessed^G2127^(G5772) art thou^G4771 among^G1722 women^G1135.

KJVAnd^G1161 when she saw^G1492^(G5631) him, she was troubled^G1298^(G5681) at^G1909 his^G846 saying^G3056, and^G2532 cast in her mind^G1260^(G5711) what manner^G4217 of salutation^G783 this^G3778 should be^G1498^(G5751).

³⁰ The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

KJVAnd^G2532 the angel^G32 said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, Fear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361, Mary^G3137: for^G1063 thou hast found^G2147^(G5627) favour^G5485 with^G3844 God^G2316.

³¹ Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’

³⁴ Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) Mary^G3137 unto^G4314 the angel^G32, How^G4459 shall^G2071 this^G5124 be^G2071^(G5704), seeing^G1893 I know^G1097^(G5719) not^G3756 a man^G435?

³⁵ The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.

KJVAnd^G2532 the angel^G32 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, The Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 shall come^G1904^(G5695) upon^G1909 thee^G4571, and^G2532 the power^G1411 of the Highest^G5310 shall overshadow^G1982^(G5692) thee^G4671: therefore^G1352 also^G2532 that holy thing^G40 which shall be born^G1080^(G5746) of^G1537 thee^G4675 shall be called^G2564^(G5701) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316.

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

KJVAnd^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), thy^G4675 cousin^G4773 Elisabeth^G1665, she^G846 hath^G4815 also^G2532 conceived^G4815^(G5761) a son^G5207 in^G1722 her^G846 old age^G1094: and^G2532 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the sixth^G1623 month^G3376 with her^G846, who^G3588 was called^G2564^(G5746) barren^G4723.

³⁷ For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”

KJVFor^G3754 with^G3844 God^G2316 nothing^G3756^G3956^G4487 shall be impossible^G101^(G5692).

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

KJVAnd^G1161 Mary^G3137 said^G2036^(G5627), Behold^G2400^(G5628) the handmaid^G1399 of the Lord^G2962; be it^G1096^(G5636) unto me^G3427 according^G2596 to thy^G4675 word^G4487. And^G2532 the angel^G32 departed^G565^(G5627) from^G575 her^G846.

³⁹ Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,

KJVAnd^G1161 Mary^G3137 arose^G450^(G5631) in^G1722 those^G5025 days^G2250, and went^G4198^(G5675) into^G1519 the hill country^G3714 with^G3326 haste^G4710, into^G1519 a city^G4172 of Juda^G2448;

⁴⁰ and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

KJVAnd^G2532 entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the house^G3624 of Zacharias^G2197, and^G2532 saluted^G782^(G5662) Elisabeth^G1665.

⁴² She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

KJVAnd^G2532 she spake out^G400^(G5656) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Blessed^G2127^(G5772) art thou^G4771 among^G1722 women^G1135, and^G2532 blessed^G2127^(G5772) is the fruit^G2590 of thy^G4675 womb^G2836.

⁴³ Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

KJVAnd^G2532 whence^G4159 is this^G5124 to me^G3427, that^G2443 the mother^G3384 of my^G3450 Lord^G2962 should come^G2064^(G5632) to^G4314 me^G3165?

⁴⁴ For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!

KJVFor^G1063, lo^G2400^(G5628), as soon as^G5613 the voice^G5456 of thy^G4675 salutation^G783 sounded^G1096^(G5633) in^G1519 mine^G3450 ears^G3775, the babe^G1025 leaped^G4640^(G5656) in^G1722 my^G3450 womb^G2836 for^G1722 joy^G20.

⁴⁵ Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

KJVAnd^G2532 blessed^G3107 is she that believed^G4100^(G5660): for^G3754 there shall be^G2071^(G5704) a performance^G5050 of those things which were told^G2980^(G5772) her^G846 from^G3844 the Lord^G2962.

⁴⁶ Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.

KJVAnd^G2532 Mary^G3137 said^G2036^(G5627), My^G3450 soul^G5590 doth magnify^G3170^(G5719) the Lord^G2962,

⁴⁷ My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,

KJVAnd^G2532 my^G3450 spirit^G4151 hath rejoiced^G21^(G5656) in^G1909 God^G2316 my^G3450 Saviour^G4990.

⁴⁸ for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
