35. And in reply, the malach said to her, The Ruach Hakodesh will come upon you and the gevurah of HaElyon will overshadow you. Therefore, also, the one being born will be called HaKadosh (The Holy One), Ben HaElohim.

36. And Elisheva your krovah also has conceived a ben in her old age, and this chodesh is hashishi (the sixth) for her who is called barren.

43. And why has this happened to me that the Em Adoni should come to me?

44. For hinei! When the sound of your Birkat Shalom came into my ears, the yeled leaped with simcha in my womb.
