Lk 1, Verses 28–29English original
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
For if Mary had known that similar words had been addressed to others, such a salutation would never have appeared to her so strange and alarming.
