Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. 97 Do not be afraid. See 1:13 for a similar statement to Zechariah.
  3. 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.
