Luke 1:44-60
-
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.
-
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
-
57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
-
58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
-
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
-
60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
