Footnotes
- 93 Most (A C Θ 0130 f13 𝔐 lat sy) have ἰδοῦσα (idousa, “when [she] saw [the angel]”) here as well, making Mary’s concern the appearance of the angel. This construction is harder than the shorter reading since it adds a transitive verb without an explicit object. However, the shorter reading has significant support (א B D L W Ψ f1 565 579 1241 sa) and on balance should probably be considered authentic.
- 94 On the phrase greatly troubled see 1:12. Mary’s reaction was like Zechariah’s response.
- 95 Grk “to wonder what kind of greeting this might be.” Luke often uses the optative this way to reveal a figure’s thinking (3:15; 8:9; 18:36; 22:23).
- 96 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Gabriel’s statement is a response to Mary’s perplexity over the greeting.
- 97 Do not be afraid. See 1:13 for a similar statement to Zechariah.
- 98 Or “grace.” The expression found favor is a Semitism, common in the OT (Gen 6:8; 18:3; 43:14; 2 Sam 15:25). God has chosen to act on this person’s behalf.
