馬利亞對天使說：「我沒有出嫁，怎麼有這事呢？」 天使回答說：「聖靈要臨到你身上，至高者的能力要蔭庇你，因此所要生的聖者必稱為上帝的兒子 。 ……因為，出於上帝的話，沒有一句不帶能力的。」 路加福音 1:34-35, 37
Mary asked, ‘How can this happen? I have never had sex with anyone.’ Gabriel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of God who is over all will cover you like a shadow. So, your child will be special to God. He will be completely good. He will be called God’s Son. ……There is nothing that God cannot do.’ Luke 1:34-35, 37
