And she made the purple and the scarlet, and took them to the priest.
2And the priest blessed her, and said: Mary, the Lord God hath magnified thy name, and thou shalt be blessed in all the generations of the earth.
3And Mary, with great joy, went away to Elizabeth her kinswoman, and knocked at the door.
4And when Elizabeth heard her, she threw away the scarlet, and ran to the door, and opened it; and seeing Mary, she blessed her, and said: Whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? for, behold, that which is in me leaped and blessed thee.
5But Mary had forgotten the mysteries of which the archangel Gabriel had spoken, and gazed up into heaven, and said: Who am I, O Lord, that all the generations of the earth should bless me?
6And she remained three months with Elizabeth; and day by day she grew bigger.
7And Mary being afraid, went away to her own house, and hid herself from the sons of Israel.
8And she was sixteen years old when these mysteries happened.
