Luke 1:46-56
Chapter 1
46
And Mary said,
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
47
my spirit exults in God, my savior!
48
He has looked upon his servant in her lowliness,
and people, forever, will call me blessed.
49
The Mighty One has done great things for me,
Holy is his Name!
50
From age to age, his mercy extends
to those who live in his presence.
51
He has acted with power and done wonders,
and scattered the proud with their plans.
52
He has thrown down the mighty from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly.
53
He has filled the hungry with good things,
but has sent the rich away empty.
54
He has helped Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy,
55
according to the promise to our fathers,
to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
56
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for approximately three months before returning home.
