And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; (1:39)

And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. (1:40)

And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: (1:41)

And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb. (1:42)

And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (1:43)

For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. (1:44)

And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. (1:45)

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, (1:46)

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. (1:47)

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. (1:48)

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy [is] his name. (1:49)

And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from generation to generation. (1:50)

He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. (1:51)

He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree. (1:52)

He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. (1:53)

He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his] mercy; (1:54)

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (1:55)

And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. (1:56)
