Luke 1:39-56

21st Century King James Version

³⁹ And Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,

⁴⁰ and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth.

⁴¹ And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.

⁴² And she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

⁴³ And why is it granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴ For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

⁴⁵ And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

⁴⁶ And Mary said, “My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷ and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.

⁴⁸ For He hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

⁴⁹ For He that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy is His name.

⁵⁰ And His mercy is on them that fear Him, from generation to generation.

⁵¹ He hath shown strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

⁵² He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

⁵³ He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent empty away.

⁵⁴ He hath helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy,

⁵⁵ as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.”

⁵⁶ And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
