VERSE (26) - :24

SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:26

¶ Y al sexto mes, el ngel Gabriel fue enviado de Dios a una ciudad de Galilea, llamada Nazaret,

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 1:26

Verse 26. A city of Galilee] As Joseph and Mary were both of the family of David, the patrimonial estate of which lay in Bethlehem, it seems as if the family residence should have been in that city, and not in Nazareth; for we find that, even after the return from the captivity, the several families went to reside in those cities to which they originally belonged. See Neh. xi. 3. But it is probable that the holy family removed to Galilee for fear of exciting the jealousy of Herod, who had usurped that throne to which they had an indisputable right. See on chap. ii. 39. Thus, by keeping out of the way, they avoided the effects of his jealousy.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 26. And in the sixth month , etc.] After Elisabeth's conception; for so long was John the Baptist conceived before Christ, and so long he was born before him; and it seems as if there was the same distance between the public ministry of the one, and the other: John was before Christ, as man, being his forerunner; but Christ was preferred unto him as mediator, and existed before him, as the eternal Son of God: the angel Gabriel was sent from God ; the same angel, that near five hundred years before gave Daniel an exact account of the time of the Messiah's coming, and six months ago acquainted Zacharias with the conception, birth, character, and office of his forerunner: unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth ; the whole country of Galilee was mean and contemptible with the Jews: they observe, though through mistake, that no prophet arose out of it, ( John 7:52) and Nazareth particularly was exceeding despicable in their eye: hence those words of Nathanael, can any good thing come out of Nazareth? ( John 1:46) and yet hither an angel was sent by God; and here dwelt the mother of our Lord. (See Gill on Matthew 1:23) Ver. 27. To a virgin , etc.] A pure virgin, that never knew man; (See Gill on Luke 1:34) and yet espoused to a man whose name was Joseph ; but they were not come together, nor had he taken her for his wife, and home to his house, nor had they cohabited: of the house of David ; which, according to the grammatical construction of the words, may be connected either with the virgin, or with Joseph, to whom she was espoused; and is true of both; for they both were of the house and lineage of David: and this shows what a low condition David's family was in, that the persons that were the nearest allied to it were a carpenter, and a poor virgin; and both residing in so despicable a place as Nazareth in Galilee: and the virgin's name was Mary ; a name frequent among the Jews, and the same with Miriam; of which name was the sister of Moses and Aaron.

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

26. Gabriel. The annunciation and the angel Gabriel are favorite themes with Dante, and he pictures them with exquisite beauty. Thus both appear on the sculptured wall which flanks the inner side of the purgatorial ascent.

"The angel who came down to earth with tidings Of peace that had been wept for many a year, And opened heaven from its long interdict, In front of us appeared so truthfully There sculptured in a gracious attitude, He did not seem an image that is silent. One would have sworn that he was saying Ave! For she was there in effigy portrayed Who turned the key to ope the exalted love, And in her mien this language had impressed, Ecce ancilla Dei! as distinctly As any figure stamps itself in wax." Purgatory, x., 34-45.

In Paradise Gabriel appears as a light circling round the Virgin and singing:

"I am angelic love, that circle round The joy sublime which breathes out from the womb That was the hostelry of our desire; And I shall circle, Lady of heaven, while Thou followest thy Son, and mak'st diviner The sphere supreme, because thou enterest there."

Paradise, xxiii., 103-108.

And again:

"And the same love that first descended then, Ave Maria gratia plena singing, In front of her his wings expanded wide."

Paradise, xxxii., 94-96.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

1:26 {Was sent} (apestale). Second aorist passive indicative of apostellw from which _apostle_ comes. The angel Gabriel is God's messenger to Mary as to Zacharias (#1:19).
