Contextual Overview

26 And in the sixt moneth, the Angel Gabriel was sent from God, vnto a citie of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgine espoused to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie. 28 And the Angel came in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art highly fauoured, the Lord is with thee: Blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her minde what maner of salutation this should be. 30 And the Angel said vnto her, Feare not, Marie, for thou hast found fauour with God. 31 And behold, thou shalt conceiue in thy wombe, and bring forth a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the sonne of the Highest, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid. 33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome there shall be no end. 34 Then said Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the Angel answered and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the Highest shall ouershadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall bee called the sonne of God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Fear not, Mary - Do not be alarmed at this appearance of an angel. He only comes to announce to you good tidings. Similar language was addressed by an angel to Joseph. See the notes at Matthew 1:20.

Thou hast found favour with God - Eminent favor or mercy in being selected to be the mother of the Messiah.
