When the days of his ministration were accomplished, he went to his own house. After those days his wife Elisabeth
conceived, and hid herself five months.
Elizabeth: “This is the way the Lord has dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”
When Elizabeth was sixth months pregnant, the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Gabriel came in unto her, and spoke.
Gabriel says makes 3 statements to Mary.
Gabriel: “Hello, highly favored one. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women."
(When she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of Situation could bring
such a greeting.
Gabriel: “Don’t be afraid, Mary. For thou hast found favor with God and look, thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name (YAHSHUA)."
Gabriel: “He is going to be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there
shall be no end.”
Mary: “How shall this be, since I am not having relations with any man?”
Gabriel: “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Look, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.”
Gabriel: “Because with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Mary: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word.”
After this Gabriel left, Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; she entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
It came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Elizabeth: “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. How wonderful is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Because, see, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.”
