1:26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

1:27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

1:28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”

1:29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.

1:30 The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

1:31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Jesus.’
