| "In the 6th month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary." (NIV) |
| And the angel came in unto her, and said, |
| "Hail, you that are highly favored the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women. |
| And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of greeting this should be. |
| And the angel said unto her, "Fear not, Mary: for you have found favor with God. And, behold , you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS." |

| "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: |
| And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. " |
| Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" |
| 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 you shall be called the Son of God." |

| "And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. |
| Luke 1:38 |
| And Mary said, |
| My soul doth magnify the Lord, |
| And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. |
| For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, |
| from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. |
| For he that is mighty has done to me great things; |
| and holy is his name. |
| And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. |
| He has shown strength with his arm; |
| He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. |
| He has put down the mighty from their seats, |
| and exalted them of low degree. |
| He has filled the hungry with good things; |
| and the rich he has sent empty away. |
| He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; |
| As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever." |
| Luke 1:46-55 |
