Mary Visits Elizabeth

1:39Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,

1:40and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

1:41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

1:42She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

1:43Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

1:44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!

1:45Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

1:46Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.

1:47My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,

1:48for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

1:49For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

1:50His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
