36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
37For no word from God will ever fail.”
38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
46Then Mary said:
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed.
49For the Mighty One has done great things for me.
Holy is His name.
50His mercy extends to those who fear Him,
from generation to generation.
— Luke 1:36-50
