God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee, to a virgin, betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel, upon entering, said to her: - Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you! Mary was troubled, and the angel said to her: - Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give him the throne of David, his father, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end. Mary said to the angel: - How can this be, since I am a virgin? The angel answered her: - The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the Son to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
