29 Mary was very upset because of his words. She wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary. God is very pleased with you.
31 You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must name him Jesus.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king like his father David of long ago.
33 He will rule forever over his people, who came from Jacob's family. His kingdom will never end."
34 "How can this happen?" Mary asked the angel. "I am a virgin."
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of the Most High God will cover you. So the holy one that is born will be called the Son of God.
