Luke 1:37

37 God can do anything!"

Luke 1:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:37

For with God nothing shall be impossible.
] That is consistent with his nature and perfections, with his counsels, purposes, and promises: every thing that he has said, purposed, or promised, he is able to do, and will; every word that he has spoken, every thing predicted by his prophets, or declared by his angels, and particularly this of a virgin's conceiving and bearing a Son: so that the angel not only answers her question, how this should be, but confirms her faith in it; partly by the instance of her cousin Elisabeth, and partly by observing the infinite omnipotence of God.

Luke 1:37 In-Context

35 The angel said to Mary, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you. For this reason the baby will be holy and will be called the Son of God.

36 Now Elizabeth, your relative, is also pregnant with a son though she is very old. Everyone thought she could not have a baby, but she has been pregnant for six months.

37 God can do anything!"

38 Mary said, "I am the servant of the Lord. Let this happen to me as you say!" Then the angel went away.

39 Mary got up and went quickly to a town in the hills of Judea.
