001:036 And see, your relative Elizabeth—she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
001:037 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
001:038 "I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me
in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.
001:039 Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill
country to a town in Judah.
001:040 Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;
001:041 and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt
within her. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
001:042 and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you,"
she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
001:043 But why is this honour done me, that the mother of my Lord
should come to me?
001:044 For, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within
me leapt for joy.
001:045 And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken
to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
