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

40: And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

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

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

43: And whence is this 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 performance 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 Saviour.

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 shewed 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 holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

55: As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
