29. Mary was confused by the angel's words and wondered what they meant.
30. Then the angel told Mary, “Don't be afraid! God is pleased with you,
31. and you will have a son. His name will be Jesus.
32. He will be great and will be called the Son of God Most High. The Lord God will make him king, as his ancestor David was.
33. He will rule the people of Israel for ever, and his kingdom will never end.”
34. Mary asked the angel, “How can this happen? I am not married!”
35. The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come down to you, and God's power will come over you. So your child will be called the holy Son of God.
36. Your relative Elizabeth is also going to have a son, even though she is old. No one thought she could ever have a baby, but in three months she will have a son.
37. Nothing is impossible for God!”
