Elizabeth. Luke 1:46
Mary's response is recorded in Luke 1. Initially she was surprised because she was a virgin, then she was submissive to God's plan, and finally Mary showed great joy and praised God in her words which are sometimes referred to as the Magnificat. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Jesus said "Mary" to Mary when He rose from the dead:-John 209 for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead....11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb.12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.13 They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"---and that he had said these things to her.
Exodus 4:2 The Lord said to him, "What is that in your hand?
Oh, dude, Jesus was totally referring to Mary when he said, "Woman, behold your son." He was basically telling Mary to look at John, who he entrusted to take care of her after he was gone. It's like a biblical version of, "Hey, Mom, meet your new son, John."
No. Both are included below so the reader can read them both and see the few similarities as well as the major differences.Even if it was word for word this would mean nothing except that Mary, whose words were recorded by Luke was a Godly young woman who read her Bible and the words she knew came out of her heart at that moment.As it is, what Mary said in Luke is a beautiful testimony to her Godliness and humility.Luke_1:46-55">Luke 1:46-5546And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.54He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.1_Samuel_2:1-10">1 Samuel 2:1-101And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.2There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.3Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.4The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.5They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.6The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.7The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.9He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.10The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
Luke 1:46 "And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord.'"
Protestant people call her "Mary". Roman Catholics call her "Blessed Mother". Byzantine Catholics and the Orthodox call her "Theotokos, the Mother of God". In answer, Jesus's Mother said, "My Soul doth Magnify the Lord".
Everyone who trusted in God their Saviour; as Mary - And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. (Luke 1.46,47) After Jesus gave the Holy Ghost, all those that believe in him and his shed blood are forgiven

Mary (Luke 1:38) ". . .And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her."(KJV)
Psalm 34: 1 - 41I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."Luke 1: 46, 47"And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior."I never really understood what it meant to "magnify the Lord" though I've heard these Scriptures, and sung songs about it, and I'm sure I've said it both in testimony and praise. But every time the words came out of my mouth it made me feel uncomfortable.Normally, we magnify things that are small. So, when I would hear or say the words "magnify the Lord" it just didn't make sense.Recently, I've had some problems with my eyes. For several weeks I could not see well enough to read or see a computer monitor. Because reading is important to me I began to seek out accommodations. As I was using various tools, the Lord began to show me.You know, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the computer screen I was trying to read, or with the books that seemed to have fuzzy print. The problem was MY view. It was my eyes that were not seeing clearly. The print did not become bigger when I used a magnification device. It was my view of the print that changed.When we magnify something, that something does not become bigger. However, the details of what we are magnifying become clearer and we can see things about that object we never knew existed.I remember looking at a drop of water in science class. I had no clue that there were things swimming it it! Magnifying the drop of water did not change the water, but helped me to see what was there all along.So…when we "Magnify the Lord" we become the lens to help others to see Gods character and goodness, His grace and mercy, and so many other details about the Lord. We become the tool, we become the magnifying glass for another to see Him more clearly.
Mary said" I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done onto me" that allowed Jesus to be born.
Because she said 'Yes' to being Our Lord's Mother.
"Behold the Handmaid (or Bond Slave) of the Lord. Be it done to me according to your word."
The angel Gabriel said that phrase because the Lord is with her. Why "full of grace?" Because the Lord blessed the Holy Virgin Mary so much. It's a blessing to have the Holy Messiah on your womb."The angel came to her (the Holy Virgin Mary) and said, 'Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and greatly blessed you!'" (Luke I:28, Today's English Version 1992)
"I am the Lord's servant ... may it be to me as you have said." (Luke 1:38).
The Fiat of Mary is her acceptance of the angel Gabriel's announcment that she would bear the Son of God, with these words, 'I am the Lord's servant, May it be to me as you have said'.
