Lucas 1:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:38

And Mary said, behold the handmaid of the Lord,
&c.] In which words she expresses her obedience of faith; she owns herself to be the handmaid of the Lord, and desires to obey him, and be submissive to him as such; and tacitly acknowledges her meanness, and great unworthiness:

be it unto me according to thy word;
she assented to what the angel said should be unto her; she earnestly desired it might be, and firmly believed it would be; she set her "Amen" to the angel's message:

and the angel departed from her;
to the heavenly regions from whence he came; to his great Lord and master, that sent him; having dispatched the business he came about, and which he was accountable to him for.

Lucas 1:38 In-Context

36 Também Isabel, sua parenta, terá um filho na velhice; aquela que diziam ser estéril já está em seu sexto mês de gestação.

37 Pois nada é impossível para Deus”.

38 Respondeu Maria: “Sou serva do Senhor; que aconteça comigo conforme a tua palavra”. Então o anjo a deixou.

39 Naqueles dias, Maria preparou-se e foi depressa para uma cidade da região montanhosa da Judeia,

40 onde entrou na casa de Zacarias e saudou Isabel.
