📚 Historical Context

The angel Gabriel spoke these words to Mary when announcing she would give birth to Jesus, even though she was a virgin. This statement came right after Gabriel explained how her elderly relative Elizabeth had also miraculously conceived a child (John the Baptist) despite being barren. The angel was reassuring Mary that God's power extends beyond human limitations and natural impossibilities.
