26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

28 And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.

29 But she was greatly troubled at his words, and said to herself, What may be the purpose of these words?

30 And the angel said to her, Have no fear, Mary, for you have God's approval.

31 And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.

32 He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

33 He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.

34 And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?

35 And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

36 Even now Elisabeth, who is of your family, is to be a mother, though she is old: and this is the sixth month with her who was without children.

37 For there is nothing which God is not able to do.

38 And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

26 V měsíci pak šestém poslán jest anděl Gabriel od Boha do města Galilejského, kterémuž jméno Nazarét,

27 Ku panně zasnoubené muži, kterémuž jméno bylo Jozef, z domu Davidova, a jméno panny Maria.

28 I všed k ní anděl, dí: Zdráva milosti došlá, Pán Bůh s tebou, požehnaná ty mezi ženami.

29 Ona pak uzřevši ho, zarmoutila se nad řečí jeho, a myslila, jaké by to bylo pozdravení.

30 I řekl jí anděl: Neboj se, Maria, nebo jsi nalezla milost u Boha.

31 A počneš v životě a porodíš syna, a nazůveš jméno jeho Ježíš.

32 Tenť bude veliký, a Syn Nejvyššího slouti bude, a dáť jemu Pán Bůh stolici Davida otce jeho.

33 A kralovati bude v domě Jákobově na věky, a království jeho nebude konce.

34 I řekla Maria k andělu: Kterak se to stane, poněvadž já muže nepoznávám?

35 A odpověděv anděl, řekl jí: Duch svatý sstoupí v tě, a moc Nejvyššího zastíní tobě; a protož, což se z tebe svatého narodí, slouti bude Syn Boží.

36 A aj, Alžběta, příbuzná tvá, i ona počala syna v starosti své, a tento jest jí šestý měsíc, kteráž sloula neplodná.

37 Neboť nebude nemožné u Boha všeliké slovo.

38 I řekla Maria: Aj, služebnice Páně, staniž mi se podle slova tvého. I odšel od ní anděl.
