Luke 1:39–56

³⁹And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea, ⁴⁰and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. ⁴¹And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, ⁴²and spake 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 might come unto me? ⁴⁴for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb; ⁴⁵and happy is she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.’ ⁴⁶And Mary said, ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord, ⁴⁷And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour, ⁴⁸Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations, ⁴⁹For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy is His name, ⁵⁰And His kindness is to generations of generations, To those fearing Him, ⁵¹He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart, ⁵²He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly, ⁵³The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty, ⁵⁴He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness, ⁵⁵As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed—to the age.’ ⁵⁶And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
