26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 Having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!"

29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be. 30 The angel said to her, "Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’ 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom."

34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?"

35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God. 36 Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible."

38 Mary said, "Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word."

Then the angel departed from her.

26 到了第六个月， 天使加百列奉 神差遣， 往加利利的拿撒勒城去，

27 到了一个童贞女那里， 她已经和大卫家一个名叫约瑟的人订了婚， 童贞女的名字是马利亚。

28 天使进去， 对她说： "恭喜！ 蒙大恩的女子， 主与你同在！ "

29 她却因这话惊慌起来， 反复思想这样祝贺是什么意思。

30 天使说： "马利亚， 不要怕！ 因你已从 神那里蒙了恩。

31 你将怀孕生子， 要给他起名叫耶稣。

32 他将要被尊为大， 称为至高者的儿子， 主 神要把他祖大卫的王位赐给他，

33 他要作王统治雅各家， 直到永远， 他的国没有穷尽。"

34 马利亚对天使说： "我还没有出嫁， 怎能有这事呢？"

35 天使回答： "圣灵要临到你， 至高者的能力要覆庇你， 因此那将要出生的圣者， 必称为 神的儿子。

36 你看， 你亲戚以利沙伯， 被称为不生育的， 在老年也怀了男胎， 现在已是第六个月了，

37 因为在 神没有一件事是不可能的。"

38 马利亚说： "我是主的婢女， 愿照你的话成就在我身上！ "天使就离开她去了。
