Mary said, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let this thing you have said happen to me!” Then the angel went away.
Do what you promised me, your servant, so that people will respect you.
Lord, I am your servant! Yes, I am your slave, as my mother was. You set me free from the chains of death.
God can do anything!”
Mary got up and went quickly to a town in the hill country of Judea.
I am not important, but he has shown his care for me, his lowly servant. From now until the end of time, people will remember how much God blessed me.
The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons. The mother of one son was a slave woman, and the mother of the other son was a free woman.
