Lk 1, Verses 36–38English original
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Having received the consent of the virgin, the angel soon returns heavenward, as it follows, And the angel departed from her.
