Luke 1:39–56

³⁹And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, ⁴⁰and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. ⁴¹And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, ⁴²and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb. ⁴³And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb. ⁴⁵And blessed is she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from the Lord. ⁴⁶And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, ⁴⁷and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour. ⁴⁸For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. ⁴⁹For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy is his name; ⁵⁰and his mercy is to generations and generations to them that fear him. ⁵¹He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty ones in the thought of their heart. ⁵²He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly. ⁵³He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty. ⁵⁴He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy, ⁵⁵(as he spoke to our fathers,) to Abraham and to his seed for ever. ⁵⁶And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
