Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Highly favoured (kexaritwmenh). Perfect passive participle of xaritow and means endowed with grace (xariv), enriched with grace as in Ephesians 1:6, non ut mater gratiae, sed ut filia gratiae (Bengel). The Vulgate gratiae plena "is right, if it means 'full of grace which thou hast received'; wrong, if it means 'full of grace which thou hast to bestow"' (Plummer). The oldest MSS. do not have "Blessed art thou among women" here, but in verse Luke 1:42.
