Luke 1:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:28

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 ) .

Luke 1:28 In-Context

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth

27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David and the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, thou that art much graced, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his words and wondered in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 Then the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
