Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my approah among men. (Luke 1:25)

The virgin birth of Jesus

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, (Luke 1:26)
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. (Luke 1:27)
And the angel came in unto her, and said, hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. (Luke 1:28)
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. (Luke 1:29)
And the angel said unto her, fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. (Luke 1:30)
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. Luke 1:31)
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: (Luke 1:32)
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:33)
Then said Mary unto the angel, how shall this be, seeing I know not a man? (Luke 1:34)
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. (Luke 1:35)
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. (Luke 1:36)
For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37)
