28. And coming to her, the angel said, “Shalom, favored one! Adonai is with you.”
29. But at the message, she was perplexed and kept wondering what kind of greeting this might be.
30. The angel spoke to her, “Do not be afraid, Miriam, for you have found favor with God.
31. Behold, you will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you shall call His name Yeshua.
32. He will be great and will be called Ben-Elyon. Adonai Elohim will give Him the throne of David, His father.
33. He shall reign over the house of Jacob for all eternity, and His kingdom will be without end.”
34. Miriam said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am not intimate with a man?”
35. And responding, the angel said to her, “The Ruach ha-Kodesh will come upon you, and the power of Elyon will overshadow you. Therefore, the Holy One being born will be called Ben-Elohim.
36. Behold, even your relative Elizabeth has conceived a son in her old age; and the one who was called barren is six months pregnant.
37. For nothing will be impossible with God.”
38. So Miriam said, “Behold, the servant of Adonai. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel left her.
39. Now in those days, Miriam got up and quickly traveled into the hill country, to a town in Judah.
40. She entered Zechariah’s home and happily greeted Elizabeth.
41. When Elizabeth heard Miriam’s greeting, the unborn child leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was completely filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
