30 The angel said to her: "Do not be afraid,*He is not telling her not to be afraid of himself, because she wasn’t; I take it that he is telling her not to fear the future and the implications of his message. Mary, because you have found favor with God. 31 Now then, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS.*Although the angel presumably addressed Mary in Hebrew, when it came to pronouncing the name, he may well have used the Greek name as we know it. The precise sequence of sounds can be written and pronounced in Hebrew. 32 He will be great, and will be called ‘Son of the Most High’; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,*Through Mary, Jesus received some of David’s genes; David was literally His ancestor (see Mary’s genealogy in Luke 3:23-38). 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob*The ‘house of Jacob’ is not the Church, but the unending Kingdom will include much more than just that ‘house’. into the ages; indeed, of His kingdom there will be no end!"*This world will come to an end, but not Christ’s Kingdom. What the angel said to Mary was even more tremendous than what he said to Zacharias.
