SCRIPTURE

"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God." — Luke 1:30 (ASV)

Fear not, Mary. Do not be alarmed at this appearance of an angel. He only comes to announce to you good tidings. Similar language was addressed by an angel to Joseph.

See Barnes on Matthew 1:20.

Thou hast found favour with God. Eminent favour or mercy in being selected to be the mother of the Messiah.
