26 Elizabeth was now in her sixth month. God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of Nazareth in Galilee.

27 The angel was sent to a young woman there. Her name was Mary. She was promised to a man named Joseph, to be his wife. He was of Davids family line.

28 The angel went into the house and said to her, Be happy! God has blessed you more than other women. The Lord is with you!
