Luke 1 : 39 - 56
| 39 | Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, |
| 40 | and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. |
| 41 | And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. |
| 42 | Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! |
| 43 | But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? |
| 44 | For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. |
| 45 | Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord." |
| 46 | And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, |
| 47 | And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. |
| 48 | For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. |
| 49 | For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name. |
| 50 | And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation. |
| 51 | He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. |
| 52 | He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly. |
| 53 | He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty. |
| 54 | He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy, |
| 55 | As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever." |
| 56 | And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house. |
