Immaculate conception of Iesus the Christ
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent fro God, unto a city of Galilee, anmed Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; an dthe virgin's name was Mary
Now Joseph was a just and ratioal Mind, and he was skilled in all manner of work in wood and in stone. And Mary was a tender and discerning Soul, and she wrought veils for the temple. And they were both pure before God; and of them both was Jesu-Maria who is called the christ.
And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, Mary, thou that art highly favoured, for the Mother of God is with thee: blessed art thou among women and blessed be the fruit of they womb.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God and, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a child, and He shall be great and shalt be called a Son of the Highest.
And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
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 Spirit shall come upon Joseph they Spoiuse, and the power of ht eHighest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Christ, the child of God, and his Name on earth shalt be called jesu-maria, for he shall save the peole form their sins, whosoever shall rpent and obey his Law.
Therefore ye shall eat no flesh, nor drink strong drink, for the child shall be consecreated unto God from its mother's womb, and neither flesh nor strong drin shall he take, nor shall razor touch his head.
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. For with God no thing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to they word. And teh angel departed from her
and ithe same day the angel Gabriel appeared unto Joseph in a dream and said unto him, Hail, Joseph, thou art highly favoured, for the Fatherhood of God is with thee. Blessed ar thou amonng men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins.
and as Joseph thought upon these words he was troubled, and the angel of the Lord said unto him, Fear not, Joseph, thou Son of David, for thou has found favor with God, and behold thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Jesu-Maria for he shall save his peole from their sins.
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which ws written in the prophets saying, Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God within us.
Then Joseph benig raised from sleep did as the angel had bidden him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the Holy ONE.
And mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judea and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
