42:001:019 And the angel answering said unto him,
I am Gabriel, that
stand
in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee,
and
to shew thee these glad tidings.
42:001:020 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not
able to speak, until
the
day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest
not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season.
42:001:021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and
marvelled that he
tarried
so long in the temple.
42:001:022 And when he came out, he could not speak
unto them: and they
perceived
that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he
beckoned
unto them, and remained speechless.
42:001:023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the
days of his
ministration
were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
42:001:024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth
conceived, and hid
herself
five months, saying,
42:001:025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the
days wherein he looked
on
me, to take away my reproach among men.
42:001:026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel
was sent from God
unto
a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
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.
