Cross-References
In the beginning, when God created the universe,
Then God commanded, "Let there be light"—and light appeared.
God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness,
and he named the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Evening passed and morning came—that was the first day.
He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth,
to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw.
He blessed them all and told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce and to fill the sea, and he told the birds to increase in number.
Take all the birds and animals out with you, so that they may reproduce and spread over all the earth."
God blessed Noah and his sons and said, "Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth.
"You must have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the angel came in unto her,.... Into her house, and into the room where she was:
and said, hail; all health, happiness, and prosperity attend thee;
Matthew 28:9
thou art highly favoured; or graciously accepted, or hast obtained grace; not referring to electing, redeeming; justifying, pardoning, adopting, and sanctifying grace, which she had in common with other saints; but to that special and particular favour, in being chosen and singled out from all other women, to be the mother of the Messiah:
the Lord is with thee; so the angel to Gideon, Judges 6:12 or "be with thee", an usual form of salutation among the Jews; Ruth 2:4
thou art blessed among women; and will be pronounced so by other women, as she was by Elisabeth, Luke 1:42 and by another woman,
Luke 11:27.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hail - This word of salutation is equivalent to âPeace be with thee,â or âJoy be with thee;â a form of speech implying that she was signally favored, and expressing joy at meeting her.
Highly favoured - By being the mother of the long-expected Messiah - the mother of the Redeemer of mankind. Long had he been predicted; long had the eyes of the nation been turned to him, and long had his coming been an object of intense desire. To be reckoned among his âancestorsâ was accounted sufficient honor for even Abraham and David. But now the happy âindividualâ was designated who was to be his mother; and on Mary, a poor virgin of Nazareth, was to come this honor, which would have rendered infinitely illustrious any of the daughters of Adam the honor of giving birth to the worldâs Redeemer and the Son of God.
The Lord is with thee - The word âisâ is not in the original, and the passage may be rendered either âthe Lord âisâ with thee,â or âthe Lord beâ with thee,â implying the prayer of the angel that all blessings from God might descend and rest upon her.
Blessed art thou among women - This passage is equivalent to saying âthou art the most happy of women.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 28. And the angel came in unto her — Some think that all this business was transacted in a vision; and that there was no personal appearance of the angel. When Divine visions were given, they are announced as such, in the sacred writings; nor can we with safety attribute any thing to a vision, where a Divine communication is made, unless it be specified as such in the text.
Hail — Analogous to, Peace be to thee - May thou enjoy all possible blessings!
Highly favoured — As being chosen in preference to all the women upon earth, to be the mother of the Messiah. Not the mother of God, for that is blasphemy.
The Lord is with thee — Thou art about to receive the most convincing proofs of God's peculiar favour towards thee.
Blessed art thou among women. — That is, thou art favoured beyond all others.
