28b  Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum;
29b  Quae est ista salutatio,
30b  Ne timeas Maria, invenisti [enim] gratiam apud Deum,
31a  Ecce concipies [in utero] et paries Filium Dei.
34b  Quomodo fiet istud? Quoniam virum non conosco,
35b  Spiritus sanctus superveniet in te, et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi.
38b  Ecce ancilla Domini: fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.

28b  Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee.
29b  What manner of salutation is this?
30b  Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31a  And, behold, thou shalt conceive [in thy womb], and bring forth the Son of God.
34b  How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35b  The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee.
38b  Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.
