Lucas 1:27

27 A una virgen desposada con un varón que se llamaba José, de la casa de David: y el nombre de la virgen era María.

Lucas 1:27 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:27

To a virgin
A pure virgin, that never knew man; (See Gill on Luke 1:34) and yet

espoused to a man whose name was Joseph;
but they were not come together, nor had he taken her for his wife, and home to his house, nor had they cohabited:

of the house of David;
which, according to the grammatical construction of the words, may be connected either with the virgin, or with Joseph, to whom she was espoused; and is true of both; for they both were of the house and lineage of David: and this shows what a low condition David's family was in, that the persons that were the nearest allied to it were a carpenter, and a poor virgin; and both residing in so despicable a place as Nazareth in Galilee:

and the virgin's name was Mary;
a name frequent among the Jews, and the same with Miriam; of which name was the sister of Moses and Aaron.

Lucas 1:27 In-Context

25 Porque el Señor me ha hecho así en los días en que miró para quitar mi afrenta entre los hombres.
26 Y al sexto mes, el ángel Gabriel fué enviado de Dios á una ciudad de Galilea, llamada Nazaret,
27 A una virgen desposada con un varón que se llamaba José, de la casa de David: y el nombre de la virgen era María.
28 Y entrando el ángel á donde estaba, dijo, ¡Salve, muy favorecida! el Señor es contigo: bendita tú entre las mujeres.
29 Mas ella, cuando le vió, se turbó de sus palabras, y pensaba qué salutación fuese ésta.
