26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. 33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? 35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren: 37 Because no word shall be impossible with God. 38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 39 And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. 40 And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.

41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.

46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.

51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: 55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

26 in mense autem sexto missus est angelus Gabrihel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae cui nomen Nazareth 27 ad virginem desponsatam viro cui nomen erat Ioseph de domo David et nomen virginis Maria 28 et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus 29 quae cum vidisset turbata est in sermone eius et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio 30 et ait angelus ei ne timeas Maria invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum

31 ecce concipies in utero et paries filium et vocabis nomen eius Iesum 32 hic erit magnus et Filius Altissimi vocabitur et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris eius 33 et regnabit in domo Iacob in aeternum et regni eius non erit finis 34 dixit autem Maria ad angelum quomodo fiet istud quoniam virum non cognosco 35 et respondens angelus dixit ei Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi ideoque et quod nascetur sanctum vocabitur Filius Dei

36 et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua et ipsa concepit filium in senecta sua et hic mensis est sextus illi quae vocatur sterilis 37 quia non erit inpossibile apud Deum omne verbum 38 dixit autem Maria ecce ancilla Domini fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum et discessit ab illa angelus 39 exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis abiit in montana cum festinatione in civitatem Iuda 40 et intravit in domum Zacchariae et salutavit Elisabeth

41 et factum est ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth exultavit infans in utero eius et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth 42 et exclamavit voce magna et dixit benedicta tu inter mulieres et benedictus fructus ventris tui 43 et unde hoc mihi ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me 44 ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis exultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo 45 et beata quae credidit quoniam perficientur ea quae dicta sunt ei a Domino

46 et ait Maria magnificat anima mea Dominum 47 et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo 48 quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes 49 quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est et sanctum nomen eius 50 et misericordia eius in progenies et progenies timentibus eum

51 fecit potentiam in brachio suo dispersit superbos mente cordis sui 52 deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles 53 esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes 54 suscepit Israhel puerum suum memorari misericordiae 55 sicut locutus est ad patres nostros Abraham et semini eius in saecula
