          26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
          27to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
          28The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

          29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
          30So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
          31Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
          32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
          33and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
