- 39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah,
- 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
- 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
- 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
- 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
- 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
- 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
- 46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
- 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
- 48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
- 49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
- 50 And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.
- 51 He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
- 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate;
- 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
- 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,
- 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
- 56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.
