Luke 1:39–56

³⁹And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.

⁴⁰And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth.

⁴¹And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.

⁴²And she cried out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

⁴³And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.

⁴⁵And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.

⁴⁶And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.

⁴⁷And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

⁴⁸Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

⁴⁹Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name.

⁵⁰And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.

⁵¹He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

⁵²He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble.

⁵³He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.

⁵⁴He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy.

⁵⁵As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

⁵⁶And Mary abode with her about three months. And she returned to her own house.
