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