Christmas Story (2)

Luke 1:26-38

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth to a virgin whose name was Mary.
And the angel came unto her, and said, 'Hail, thou art highly favored, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said to her, 'Fear not, Mary; for thou has found favor with God. And behold, thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt 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. And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom there shall never end. Then Mary said to the angel, 'how can this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, ' The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee; and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
