Part 2

42:001:027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

42:001:028 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

42:001:029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

42:001:030 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

42:001:031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

42:001:032 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:

42:001:033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

42:001:034 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

42:001:035 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.

42:001:036 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.

42:001:037 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

42:001:038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

42:001:039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

42:001:040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

42:001:041 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42:001:042 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

42:001:043 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

42:001:044 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

42:001:045 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

42:001:046 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

42:001:047 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

42:001:048 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

42:001:049 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

42:001:050 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

42:001:051 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

42:001:052 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

42:001:053 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

42:001:054 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
