According to the Gabriel , who told him his Wife would have a Son who "will be great in the sight of the Lord" (1:15). The pregnant Elizabeth Was Visited by Mary , who was pregnant with Jesus : : When Elizabeth heard Mary`s greeting, the child leapt in her womb. : And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry: : "Blessed are you amongst women and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (1:41-2) Elizabeth is not mentioned in the New Testament outside of the Gospel of Luke. Some modern Biblical scholars argue that she is a fictional character and that Luke invented the notion that Jesus and John the Baptist were related. Elizabeth is revered as a saint in the Catholic , Orthodox and Anglican traditions. |
