27 To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name
was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her,
and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was
troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of
salutation this should be.

not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive
in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name Jesus.
32 He shall be Great, and shall be
called The Son Of The Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him
