Lucas 1:27

27 a una virgen desposada con un hombre que se llamaba José, de los descendientes 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 Así ha obrado el Señor conmigo en los días en que se dignó mirarme para quitar mi afrenta entre los hombres.

26 Y al sexto mes, el ángel Gabriel fue enviado por Dios a una ciudad de Galilea llamada Nazaret,

27 a una virgen desposada con un hombre que se llamaba José, de los descendientes de David; y el nombre de la virgen era María.

28 Y entrando el ángel, le dijo: ¡Salve, muy favorecida! El Señor está contigo; bendita eres tú entre las mujeres.

29 Pero ella se turbó mucho por estas palabras, y se preguntaba qué clase de saludo sería éste.
