King James Bible
"And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth."
Mary arrives at the home of Zacharias, the priest who had been struck mute for doubting Gabriel's announcement about John the Baptist. This physical entry marks the convergence of two miraculous pregnancies and represents Mary's obedience to the angel's revelation about Elisabeth's condition. Mary's greeting initiates the famous encounter where John leaps in Elisabeth's womb. In ancient Jewish culture, such salutations were formal acts of respect and blessing, here triggering a prophetic moment that confirms both women's divine callings.
