And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation should this be. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
