SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:28
Y entrando el ngel en donde ella estaba , dijo: ¡Gozo hallas, amada! El Seor es contigo; bendita t entre las mujeres.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 1:28
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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. And the angel came in unto her , etc.] 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).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-38 - We have here an account of the mother of our Lord; though we are not to pray to her, yet we ought to praise God for her. Christ must be bor miraculously. The angel's address means only, Hail, thou that art the especially chosen and favoured of the Most High, to attain the honou Jewish mothers have so long desired. This wondrous salutation an appearance troubled Mary. The angel then assured her that she had foun favour with God, and would become the mother of a son whose name sh should call Jesus, the Son of the Highest, one in a nature an perfection with the Lord God. JESUS! the name that refreshes the fainting spirits of humbled sinners; sweet to speak and sweet to hear Jesus, a Saviour! We know not his riches and our own poverty, therefor we run not to him; we perceive not that we are lost and perishing therefore a Saviour is a word of little relish. Were we convinced of the huge mass of guilt that lies upon us, and the wrath that hangs ove us for it, ready to fall upon us, it would be our continual thought, I the Saviour mine? And that we might find him so, we should trample of all that hinders our way to him. Mary's reply to the angel was the language of faith and humble admiration, and she asked no sign for the confirming her faith. Without controversy, great was the mystery of godliness, God manifest in the flesh, 1Ti 3:16. Christ's human natur must be produced so, as it was fit that should be which was to be take into union with the Divine nature. And we must, as Mary here, guide ou desires by the word of God. In all conflicts, let us remember that with God nothing is impossible; and as we read and hear his promises, let u turn them into prayers, Behold the willing servant of the Lord; let it be unto me according to thy word.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
28. Thou that art highly favored (kecaritwmenh). Lit., as Rev. in margin, endued with grace. Only here and Eph. i. 6. The rendering full of grace, Vulgate, Wyc., and Tynd., is therefore wrong.All the best texts omit blessed art thou among women.
Cast in her mind (dielogizeto). See on Jas. ii. 4. The imperfect tense, "began to reason."
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:28 {Highly favored} (kecaritwmene). Perfect passive participle of caritow and means endowed with grace (caris), enriched with grace as in #Eph 1:6, _non ut mater gratiae, sed ut filia gratiae_ (Bengel). The Vulgate _gratiae plena_ "is right, if it means 'full of grace _which thou hast received_'; wrong, if it means 'full of grace _which thou hast to bestow_"' (Plummer). The oldest MSS. do not have "Blessed art thou among women" here, but in verse #42.
