Lucas 1:31 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:31

And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
&c.] Though a pure virgin, which never knew a man; and therefore, "a behold", is prefixed to it, as being what was extraordinary and wonderful; as it is also, in the prophesy of it, in ( Isaiah 7:14 ) to which the angel manifestly refers, and is, by Matthew cited, as accomplished hereby; (See Gill on Matthew 1:22) (See Gill on Matthew 1:23)

and bring forth a Son, and shalt call his name Jesus;
which signifies a "Saviour"; and a Saviour Christ is of God's appointing, providing and sending; and a very suitable one, being a spiritual Saviour, and a complete one, both able and willing to save to the uttermost all that believe in him; nor is there any other, nor salvation in any other: he is the Saviour of his people, whom the Father has given him, even of all the elect, whether of Jews or Gentiles; and of them from all their sins, and from all their enemies; and whom he saves with a spiritual and eternal salvation.

29 Mas ella, cuando le vió, se turbó de sus palabras, y pensaba qué salutación fuese ésta.
30 Entonces el ángel le dijo: María, no temas, porque has hallado gracia cerca de Dios.
31 Y he aquí, concebirás en tu seno, y parirás un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESUS.
32 Este será grande, y será llamado Hijo del Altísimo: y le dará el Señor Dios el trono de David su padre:
33 Y reinará en la casa de Jacob por siempre; y de su reino no habrá fin.
