Luke 1:25-35

25 "ADONAI has done this for me; he has shown me favor at this time, so as to remove my public disgrace."
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gavri'el was sent by God to a city in the Galil called Natzeret,
27 to a virgin engaged to a man named Yosef, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Miryam.
28 Approaching her, the angel said, "Shalom, favored lady! ADONAI is with you!"
29 She was deeply troubled by his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Miryam, for you have found favor with God.
31 Look! You will become pregnant, you will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Yeshua.
32 He will be great, he will be called Son of Ha`Elyon. ADONAI, God, will give him the throne of his forefather David;
33 and he will rule the House of Ya`akov forever -- there will be no end to his Kingdom."
34 "How can this be," asked Miryam of the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
35 The angel answered her, "The Ruach HaKodesh will come over you, the power of Ha`Elyon will cover you. Therefore the holy child born to you will be called the Son of God.
