Luc 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:30

And the angel said unto her,
&c] Observing the consternation and confusion she was in;

fear not, Mary;
he calls her by her name, signifying that she was well known to him, as the saints are to the ministering angels, who are often sent unto them, encamp about them, and do them many good offices; and bids her not be afraid, he had no ill design upon her, nor brought any ill news to her:

for thou has found favour,
or "found grace with God"; and what that particular grace and favour was, is expressed in the following verses.

Luc 1:30 In-Context

28 L'ange entra chez elle, et dit: Je te salue, toi à qui une grâce a été faite; le Seigneur est avec toi.

29 Troublée par cette parole, Marie se demandait ce que pouvait signifier une telle salutation.

30 L'ange lui dit: Ne crains point, Marie; car tu as trouvé grâce devant Dieu.

31 Et voici, tu deviendras enceinte, et tu enfanteras un fils, et tu lui donneras le nom de Jésus.

32 Il sera grand et sera appelé Fils du Très-Haut, et le Seigneur Dieu lui donnera le trône de David, son père.
