Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin abetrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.  
28 And having come in, the angel said to her, a“Rejoice, highly favored one, bthe Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”  
29 But1 when she saw him, ashe was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.  
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found afavor with God.

Luke 1:28

Hail, thou highly favoured; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women - Hail is the salutation used by our Lord to the women after his resurrection: thou art highly favoured, or hast found favour with God, Luke 1:30, is no more than was said of Noah, Moses, and David. The Lord is with thee, was said to Gideon, Judges 6:12; and blessed shall she be above women, of Jael, Judges 5:24. This salutation gives no room for any pretence of paying adoration to the virgin; as having no appearance of a prayer, or of worship offered to her.
