← Luke 1:34	Luke 1:35 (KJV)	Luke 1:36 →
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?	And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.	And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
