Verse 28
And the angel came in unto her ,.... 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; 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 .
