New Testament

Luke 1:25-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

25. "For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men."

26. Then, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27. to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

28. And upon entering, the Angel said to her: "Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women."

29. And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be.

30. And the Angel said to her: "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God.

31. Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS.

32. He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity.
