TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

1:28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

1:29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

1:30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

1:31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

1:32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

1:33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
