Luke 1:26

GabrielGalileeNazareth

24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,

25 “The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

27 to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
