Luke 1:30

Context
1:30 So 1  the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, 2  Mary, for you have found favor 3  with God!

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Gabriel’s statement is a response to Mary’s perplexity over the greeting.

2 sn Do not be afraid. See 1:13 for a similar statement to Zechariah.

3 tn Or “grace.”

sn The expression found favor is a Semitism, common in the OT (Gen 6:8; 18:3; 43:14; 2 Sam 15:25). God has chosen to act on this person’s behalf.
