#4: Gabriel Tells Mary She Will Be The Mother Of Jesus
Luke 1:26-38
Chapter 1
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 Having come in to her, the angel said, "Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!"
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name JESUS.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give to him the throne of his father, David,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end of his kingdom."
34 Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one which is born from you will be called the Son of God.
36 Behold, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37 For no word from God will be void of power."
38 Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
