Remember when the angels said, "O Mary! truly God has chosen thee, and purified thee, and chosen thee above all the women of the worlds!"

Remember when the angel said, "O Mary! Verily God announces to thee the Word from Him: The child's name shall be, Messiah Jesus the son of Mary, illustrious in this world, and in the next, and one of those who have near access to God; And He shall speak to men alike when in the cradle and when grown up; And he shall be one of the just."

She said, "How, O my Lord! shall I have a son, when no man has touched me?"

The angel said, "God will create what He will; When He decrees a thing, He need only say, 'Be,' and it is.

And God will teach your child the Book, and the Wisdom, and the Law, and the Evangel; and he shall be an apostle to the children of Israel. "Now have I come," he will say, "to you with a sign from your Lord: Out of clay will I make for you, as it were, the figure of a bird: and I will breathe into it, and it shall become, by God's leave, a bird. And I will heal the blind, and the leper; and by God's leave will I quicken the dead; and I will tell you what ye eat, and what ye store up in your houses! Truly in this will be a sign for you, if ye are believers.

... And Mary conceived the child, and retired with him to a far-off place.
