39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, ato a city of Judah,  
40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was afilled with the Holy Spirit.  
42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, a“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!  
43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 aBlessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”  

The Song of Mary

46 And Mary said:
a“My soul1 magnifies the Lord, 
47 And my spirit has arejoiced in bGod my Savior. 
48 For aHe has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth ball generations will call me blessed. 
49 For He who is mighty ahas done great things for me,
And bholy is His name. 
50 And aHis mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation. 
51 aHe has shown strength with His arm;
bHe has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 
52 aHe has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly. 
53 He has afilled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty. 
54 He has helped His aservant Israel,
bIn remembrance of His mercy, 
55 aAs He spoke to our bfathers,
To Abraham and to his cseed forever.”  
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.

57 Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son.
58 When her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they arejoiced with her.  

Circumcision of John the Baptist

59 So it was, aon the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.  
60 His mother answered and said, a“No; he shall be called John.”  
61 But they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 So they made signs to his father—what he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, “His name is John.” So they all marveled.
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.
65 Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea.
