Luke 1:30-35
1599 Geneva Bible
30 Then the Angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast [a]found favor with God.
31 (A)For lo thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bear a son, (B)and shalt call his Name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be [b]called the Son of the most High, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.
33 (C)And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom shall be none end.
34 Then said Mary unto the Angel, [c]How shall this be, seeing [d]I know not man?
35 And the Angel answered, and said unto her, The holy Ghost [e]shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee: therefore also that [f]Holy thing which shall be born of thee, shall be [g]called the Son of God.
