their God.
1:17. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias: that

perfect people.

before God and am sent to speak to thee and to bring thee these good
tidings.

until the day wherein these things shall come to pass: because thou hast
not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.

herself what manner of salutation this should be.
1:30. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found
grace with God.
1:31. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a
son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus.

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.
1:33. And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
1:34. And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know
not man?
1:35. 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.
1:36. 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.
