1:39
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
1:40
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
1:41
And 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:
1:42
And she spake out with a loud voice, and
said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
1:43
And whence
is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
1:44
For, lo, as soon as the
voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
1:45
And
blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
1:46
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
1:47
And my spirit
hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
1:48
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:
for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
1:49
For he that is mighty
hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
1:50
And his mercy is on them that fear
him from generation to generation.
1:51
He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered
the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
1:52
He hath put down the mighty from their
seats, and exalted them of low degree.
1:53
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and
the rich he hath sent empty away.
1:54
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of
his mercy;
1:55
As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
1:56
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
