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 No sexto mês Deus enviou o anjo Gabriel a Nazaré, cidade da Galiléia,

27 a uma virgem prometida em casamento a certo homem chamado José, descendente de Davi. O nome da virgem era Maria.

28 O anjo, aproximando-se dela, disse: "Alegre-se, agraciada! O Senhor está com você! "

29 Maria ficou perturbada com essas palavras, pensando no que poderia significar esta saudação.

30 Mas o anjo lhe disse: "Não tenha medo, Maria; você foi agraciada por Deus!

31 Você ficará grávida e dará à luz um filho, e lhe porá o nome de Jesus.

32 Ele será grande e será chamado Filho do Altíssimo. O Senhor Deus lhe dará o trono de seu pai Davi,

33 e ele reinará para sempre sobre o povo de Jacó; seu Reino jamais terá fim".

34 Perguntou Maria ao anjo: "Como acontecerá isso, se sou virgem? "

35 O anjo respondeu: "O Espírito Santo virá sobre você, e o poder do Altíssimo a cobrirá com a sua sombra. Assim, aquele que há de nascer será chamado santo, Filho de Deus.

36 Também Isabel, sua parenta, terá um filho na velhice; aquela que diziam ser estéril já está em seu sexto mês de gestação.

37 Pois nada é impossível para Deus".

38 Respondeu Maria: "Sou serva do Senhor; que aconteça comigo conforme a tua palavra". Então o anjo a deixou.
