Luke 1 — Context

For there is nothing which God is not able to do.

And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

Then Mary got up and went quickly into the high lands, to a town of Judah;

And went into the house of Zacharias and took Elisabeth in her arms.

And when the voice of Mary came to the ears of Elisabeth, the baby made a sudden move inside her; then Elisabeth was full of the Holy Spirit,

And she said with a loud voice: May blessing be on you among women, and a blessing on the child of your body.

How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me?
