There was a priest in the days of Herod, the king of Judea named Zacharias of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughter of Aaron and her name was Elizabeth. They were both righteous before GOD. But they were born barren and well stricken in years. He went to the temple to pray, before he saw an angel and fear came upon him. Angel Gabriel made Zacharias dumb because he never believed what he said.
And it came to pass that as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplish he departed to his own house.And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and hid herself five months saying that the lord has taken away all her reproach by men.

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from GOD unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth. To a virgin exposed to a man whose whose name was Joseph of the house of David, and the virgin name was Mary. And the angel came unto her and said hail thou that art highly favored,the LORD is with thee ;blessed art thou among women. And she was troubled of thus statement so [fear not Mary why thou hast found favour with GOD].

Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.He shall be great and shall be called the son of the highest and the LORD GOD shall give unto him the throne of his father David. Angel Gabriel told many that the holy spirit shall overshadow her and that her cousin Elizabeth is pregnant and in her sixth month, "for with GOD nothing shall be impossible".And Mary said behold the handmaid of the LORD belt upon me according to thy word.

And Mary went to meet her cousin and the child in Elizabeth belly kept for joy and she said with loud voice and said blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb and mercy is on the that fear him from generation to generation. He hath filled the hungry with good things and the path he hath sent-empty handed. And many abode with her about three month and return to her own house.
