INSPIRED WORD
In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s
pregnancy, God sent the angel
Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in
Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be
married to a man named Joseph, a
descendant of David. The virgin’s
name was Mary. The angel went to
her and said, “Hail, full of grace!
The Lord is with you.”
INSPIRED WORD
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and
wondered what kind of greeting this might
be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be
afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
You will conceive and give birth to a son,
and you are to call him Jesus. He will be
great and will be called the Son of the Most
High. The Lord God will give him the throne
of his father David, and he will reign over
Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom
will never end.”
INSPIRED WORD

“How will this be,” Mary asked the

angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit

will come on you, and the power of the
Most High will overshadow you. So the
holy one to be born will be called[a]
the Son of God.
INSPIRED WORD
Even Elizabeth your relative is going to
have a child in her old age, and she who
was said to be unable to conceive is in her
sixth month. For no word from God will
ever fail.”

“I am the handmaid of the Lord” Mary

answered. “May it be done unto me
according to your word.” Then the angel
left her.
