### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk1.18-25)
|
||
|
||
I really like the ESV translation for this chapter. Having compared several, it
|
||
best captures the difference between Zecharaiah's and Mary's (_v. 34_) response
|
||
to an angelic visitiation. "How shall I know this?" said Zechariah. "How will
|
||
this be?" said Mary. Both knew that it was impossible for them to have children
|
||
in their current situations, but one responded with doubt and arrogant
|
||
skepticism and the other with curiousity that expected the angel's words to be
|
||
true.
