Bible: Luke 1:39-47
Mary and Elizabeth
1:39 In those days 1 Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah, 2 1:40 and entered Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. 1:41 When 3 Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped 4 in her 5 womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 6 1:42 She 7 exclaimed with a loud voice, 8 “Blessed are you among women, 9 and blessed is the child 10 in your womb! 1:43 And who am I 11 that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me? 1:44 For the instant 12 the sound of your greeting reached my ears, 13 the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 14 1:45 And blessed 15 is she who believed that 16 what was spoken to her by 17 the Lord would be fulfilled.” 18
