23 And as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach from among men.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God, unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth.
27 To a virgin, espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, thou virgin, who art highly favored of the Lord. The Lord is with thee, for thou art chosen and blessed among women.
29 And when she saw the angel, she was troubled at his saying, and pondered in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God.
31 And behold, thou shalt conceive, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus.
32 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;
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
