Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord.
47
My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
48
For he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
49
For he who is mighty has done to me great things; Holy is his name.
50
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
51
He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52
He has put down princes from their thrones. Has exalted the lowly.
53
He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
54
He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy
55
(As he spoke to our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed forever."

Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.
