1 And she made the purple and the scarlet, and she took it to the priest. And taking it, the priest blessed her and said, “Mary, the Lord God has magnified your name, and you’ll be blessed among all the generations of the earth.” (PJA) 2 And Mary rejoiced and went to her cousin Elizabeth. And she knocked at the door. And Elizabeth heard, flung down the scarlet, and rushed to the door. And she opened it and blessed her and said, “How is it that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Because look, the one in me leaped and blessed you!” But Mary forgot the mysteries which Gabriel the angel had told her. And she looked intently into heaven and said, “Lord, who am I, that all the women of the earth will bless me?” (PJA) 3 And she spent three months with Elizabeth. And day by day, her womb grew larger, and Mary was afraid. She went to her house and hid herself from the people of Israel. She was sixteen years old when these mysteries happened to her. (PJA)
