She was thoroughly shaken, wondering what
was behind a greeting like that.
But the angel assured her, "Mary, you have
nothing to fear.
God has a surprise for you: You will become
pregnant and
give birth to a son and call his name Jesus.
He will be great, be called 'Son of the Highest.'
The Lord God will give him the throne of his
father David;
He will rule Jacob's house forever — no end,
ever, to his kingdom."
Luke 1:29
