Luke 1:26-31
Birth Announcement of Jesus the Messiah
1:26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
1:27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.
1:28 The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!”
1:29 But she was greatly troubled by his words and began to wonder about the meaning of this greeting.
1:30 So the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God!
1:31 Listen: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
