The angel replied, "I am Gabriel, I stand before God; I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazaret,
See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you, their angels in heaven always look on the face of my Father in heaven.
As we have a great high priest, then, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession;
but the angel said to them, "Have no fear. This is good news I am bringing you, news of a great joy that is meant for all the People.
But you will be silent and unable to speak till the day this happens, because you have not believed what I told you; it will be accomplished, for all that, in due time."
From hour to hour keep awake, praying that you may succeed in escaping all these dangers to come and in standing before the Son of man."
