    8¶ Then Manoah intreated the Lord, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

    9And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.

    10And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.

    11And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.

1:26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

1:27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

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.

1:34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
