“The #angel #Gabriel was sent from #God
\nto a town of #Galilee called #Nazareth,
\nto a virgin betrothed to a man named #Joseph,
\nof the house of David,
\nand the virgin’s name was #Mary.
\nAnd coming to her, he said,
\n‘Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you. …
\nDo not be afraid, Mary,
\nfor you have found favor with God.
\nBehold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
\nand you shall name him Jesus.
\nHe will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,
\nand the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
\nand he will rule over the house of Jacob forever,
\nand of his Kingdom there will be no end.’

\nMay it be done to me according to your word.’
\nThen the angel departed from her.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
