路加福音一26-38
(Annunciation天使报喜,是西方艺术一个重要的题材。)

到了第六个月,天使加俾额尔奉天主差遣,往加里肋亚一座名叫纳匝肋的城去,
到一位童贞女那里,她已与达味家族中的一个名叫若瑟的男子订了婚,
童贞女的名字叫玛利亚。
天使进去向她说:
「万福! 充满恩宠者,上主与你同在!」【在女人中你是蒙祝福的。】
她却因这话惊惶不安,便思虑这样的请安有什麽意思。
天使对她说:「玛利亚,不要害怕,因为你在天主前获得了宠幸。
看,你将怀孕生子,并要给衪起名叫耶稣。
衪将是伟大的,并被称为至高者的儿子,上主天主要把衪祖先达味的御座赐给衪。
衪要为王统治雅各伯家,直到永远;衪的王权没有终结。」
玛利亚便向天使说:「这事怎能成就? 因为我不认识男人。」
天使答覆她说:
「圣神要临於你,至高者的能力要庇廕你,因此,那要诞生的圣者,
将称为天主的儿子。
且看,你的亲戚依撒伯尔,她虽在老年,却怀了男胎,本月已六个月了,
她原是素称不生育的。
因为在天主前没有不能的事。」
玛利亚说:「看,上主的婢女,愿照你的话成就於我吧!」
天使便离开她去了。

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee
called Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and
the virgin's name was Mary.
28 He went in and said to her, 'Rejoice, you who enjoy God's favour! The Lord
is with you.'
29 She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this
greeting could mean,
30 but the angel said to her, 'Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God's
favour.
31 Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name
him Jesus.
32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God
will give him the throne of his ancestor David;
33 he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no
end.'
34 Mary said to the angel, 'But how can this come about, since I have no
knowledge of man?'
35 The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of
the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy
and will be called Son of God.
36 And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has
conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month,
37 for nothing is impossible to God.'
38 Mary said, 'You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as
you have said.' And the angel left her.
