  🍃🕊️12/18 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

26 - Six months later, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And Gabriel came to her and said, “Greetings, oh favored one! The Lord is with you!”29 But she was troubled at the saying, for she didn’t know what sort of greeting that might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

     34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I have never been with a man?” 35 And Gabriel answered, “The Holy Spirit (/Presence of God) will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and so the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with she who was called barren. 37 For nothing is impossible to God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaiden of the Lord. Let it happen to me as you have said.” The angel then departed.
