El texto en que se basa es Lc 1,26-38:

"El sexto mes envió Dios al ángel Gabriel a una ciudad de Galilea llamada Nazaret, a una virgen prometida a un hombre llamado José, de la familia de David; la virgen se llamaba María. Entró el ángel a donde estaba ella y le dijo: ---Alégrate, favorecida, el Señor está contigo. Al oírlo, ella se turbó y discurría qué clase de saludo era aquél. El ángel le dijo: ---No temas, María, que gozas del favor de Dios. Mira, concebirás y darás a luz un hijo, a quien llamarás Jesús. Será grande, llevará el título de Hijo del Altísimo; el Señor Dios le dará el trono de David, su padre, para que reine sobre la Casa de Jacob por siempre y su reinado no tenga fin. María respondió al ángel: ---¿Cómo sucederá eso si no convivo con un varón? El ángel le respondió: ---El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti y el poder del Altísimo te hará sombra; por eso, el consagrado que nazca llevará el título de Hijo de Dios. Mira, también tu pariente Isabel ha concebido en su vejez, y la que se consideraba estéril está ya de seis meses. Pues nada es imposible para Dios. Respondió María: ---Aquí tienes a la esclava del Señor: que se cumpla en mí tu palabra. El ángel la dejó y se fue."
