Luke 1:39-56
\n39 In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44 For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.”
\n46 And Mary said, <\/p>\n

\n“My soul magnifies the Lord,
\n47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
\n48 for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant.
\nSurely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
\n49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
\nand holy is his name.
\n50 His mercy is for those who fear him
\nfrom generation to generation.
\n51 He has shown strength with his arm;
\nhe has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
\n52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
\nand lifted up the lowly;
\n53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
\nand sent the rich away empty.
\n54 He has helped his servant Israel,
\nin remembrance of his mercy,
\n55 according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
\nto Abraham and to his descendants forever.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

56 And Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.
