34 Simeon blessed them. He said to Mary, the mother of Jesus, He will be a sign that people do not believe in. He will make many people in Israel fall and rise.
35 (Yes, a long knife will cut your heart too.) What people think will be made known.
19 Mary remembered all these things and kept thinking about them.
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!
55 Is he not the carpenters son? Is not Mary his mother? Are not James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers?
56 Are not his sisters all here with us? Where did he get all this?
18 This is the way Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, was promised to Joseph to be his wife. But before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby. It was by the Holy Spirit.
3 The people needed more wine. Then Jesus mother said to him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus said, Woman, why are you telling me about it? It is not yet the time for me to do something.
5 His mother said to the servants, Do all that he tells you to do.
46 Mary said, My heart is praising the Lord.
47 And my spirit is happy because God has saved me.
48 He has remembered his servant even though she is not a great person. From now on all people of all times will say God has blessed me.
49 He who has all power has done a big work for me. His name is holy.
50 He is kind to people of all times who respect him.
51 He has shown how strong he is with his arm. He has taken away people who were proud in their hearts.
52 He has moved big rulers from power, and those that were not great he has made great.
53 He has given hungry people good things to eat, and sent away the rich people with nothing.
54 He has helped his servant Israel.
55 He has remembered to be kind just as he said to our fathers of long ago. He promised to be kind to Abraham and his childrens children for ever.
14 All of these people were talking to God. The women, Jesus mother Mary, and Jesus brothers were there talking to God also.
48 His parents were surprised when they saw him. His mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you. We have been very troubled.
49 He said to them, Why did you look for me? Did you not know that I had to be in my Fathers house?
50 They did not understand what he meant.
51 He went with them back to Nazareth and obeyed them. But his mother remembered all these things.
30 The angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary. God has blessed you.
31 You will have a baby son. Name him Jesus.
32 He will be a great man. He will be called the Son of the Highest One a name for God . The Lord God will make him king where his father David was king.
33 He will be king over the people of Israel for ever. He will never stop being king.
31 Jesus mother and brothers came to him. They stood outside. They sent someone to him.
32 Many people were sitting around him. They said, See, your mother and your brothers are outside. They want you.
33 Jesus asked them, Who are my mother and my brothers?
34 Then he looked at the people who sat around him. He said, These people are my mother and my brothers!
35 Anyone who obeys God is my brother, my sister, and my mother.
4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the town of Bethlehem in Judea. This was Davids town, and Joseph came from Davids family line.
5 He went to have his name written in the book. Joseph took Mary with him. She was promised to Joseph to be his wife. She was going to have a baby.
6 While they were there, the time came for her baby to be born.
7 This was her first child, a son. She wrapped him in a cloth and laid him in a box where cows feed. There was no room for them in the house for strangers.
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near. He said to his mother, Woman, see your son!
27 And he said to the disciple, See your mother! From that time on, that disciple took her to live in his own home.
