Commentary on Luke 1:30

Theological / Devotional

Fear not. See v. 29; see on v. 13. Addressing her as “Mary,” the angel revealed the fact that he knew her personally. This, and the statement following, were designed to inspire confidence.

Favour. Gr. charis, “grace,” generally considered to be from the same root as chairō, “rejoice” (see on v. 28), a favorite word of early Christians. God was delighted to find in Mary one who approached so closely to the divine ideal.
