Genesis 16:7-13

7 The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to ^aShur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, ^b“I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her,

“Behold, you are pregnant
and shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael, ^{▼▼ Ishmael means God hears}
^dbecause the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be ^ea wild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he shall dwell ^fover against all his kinsmen.”
13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” ^{▼▼Or You are a God who sees me} for she said, ^h“Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” ^{▼▼Hebrew Have I really seen him here who sees me? or Would I have looked here for the one who sees me?}

28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, ^qO favored one, ^rthe Lord is with you!” ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add Blessed are you among women!} 29 But ^tshe was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for ^uyou have found favor with God. 31 And behold, ^vyou will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and ^wyou shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of ^xthe Most High. And the Lord God ^ywill give to him the throne of ^zhis father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob ^aaforever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” ^{▼▼Greek since I do not know a man}

35 And the angel answered her, ^ac“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of ^adthe Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add of you} will be called ^afholy— ^agthe Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her ^ahwho was called barren. 37 For ^ainothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant ^{▼▼Greek bondservant; also verse 48} of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And ^akthe angel departed from her.
