LUKE 1:39 - 56
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to
a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted
Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe
leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and
she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and
blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the
mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of
your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of
what was spoken to her from the Lord.” And Mary said, “My soul magnified the Lord, and
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done
great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on those who fear him from
generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in
the imagination of their hearts, he has put down the might form their thrones, and exalted
those of low degree; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty
away. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our
fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.”
