34 And Mary said to the angel. "How can this be? For I have no husband?"

35 "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you," said the angel, "and the power of the most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the holy offspring which is born, shall be called the son of God.

36 "And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.

37 "For no word of God shall be void of power."

38 Then Mary said. "Behold I am Lords slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.
