THE WORD OF GOD
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, "Greetings, you who are highly
favored! The Lord is with you."
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of
greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do n
ot 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.
(Luke 1:26-31 NIV*)
