Luke 1:26, "In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee."

Verse 27,  "to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph” 

Verse 28-29, "Gabriel appeared to her and he says, 'Greetings, favored woman, the Lord is with you.' 

Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what could the angel mean?" 

Verse 30, “Don't be afraid (Mary),' the angel told her, 'for you have found favor with God!'" 

Verse 31, "You will conceive, and give birth to a son. And you will name him Jesus." 

Isaiah 7:14, "The virgin will conceive a child, she will give birth to a Son, and they will call him Emmanuel, which means God with us." 

Verse 32, "He (Jesus) will be great, and he will be called the Son of the most high. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David, and he will reign over Israel forever. His kingdom will never end." 

Verse 34, “Mary asked the angel, ‘But how can this happen? I'm a virgin.'" 

Verse 35, "The angel replied, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God." 

Verse 36, “What's more, your relative, Elizabeth, has become pregnant in her old age. People used to say she was barren, but she's conceived a son, and is now in her, sixth month. For the Word of God will never fail." 

Verse 38, "Mary responded, 'I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true.' And then the angel left her." 

Verse 39, "A few days later, Mary hurried to the hill country of Judea, to the town where Zechariah lived. She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. 

At the sound of Mary's greeting, Elizabeth's child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit." 

Verse 42, “Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, "God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed." 

Verse 43, "Why am I so honored that the mother of my Lord should visit me? When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”
