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.
42. She then cried out with a great shout, saying, “You are blessed among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43. Who am I, that the mother of my Master should come to me?
44. For even when I just heard the sound of your greeting in my ear, the unborn child leaped with joy in my womb.
