23. And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his service were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24. And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25. Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favored, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
29. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of greeting this should be.
30. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favor with God.
