In the Gospel of Luke, which was written by a physician and historian to provide an orderly account of Jesus' life for a Greek audience, the angel Gabriel visits the young virgin Mary to announce that she will miraculously conceive and bear the Son of God. Mary expresses doubt about how this could happen, given her unmarried status, and Gabriel reassures her by declaring God's unlimited power. This verse emphasizes the theme of divine intervention in human affairs, setting the stage for the miraculous birth of Jesus.
