Daniel 10:11

10:11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are of great value. ¹  Understand the words that I am about to ²  speak to you. So stand up, ³  for I have now been sent to you.” When he said this ⁴  to me, I stood up shaking.

Daniel 10:19

10:19 He said to me, “Don’t be afraid, you who are valued. ⁵  Peace be to you! Be strong! Be really strong!” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Sir, you may speak now, ⁶  for you have given me strength.”

Luke 1:28

1:28 The ⁷  angel ⁸  came ⁹  to her and said, “Greetings, favored one, ¹⁰  the Lord is with you!” ¹¹ 

¹ tn Or “a treasured person”; KJV “a man greatly beloved”; NASB “man of high esteem.”

² tn The Hebrew participle is often used, as here, to refer to the imminent future.

³ tn Heb “stand upon your standing.”

⁴ tn Heb “spoke this word.”

⁵ tn Heb “treasured man.”

⁶ tn Heb “my lord may speak.”

⁷ tn Grk “And coming to her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁸ tn Grk “And coming to her, he said”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁹ tn Grk “coming to her, he said.” The participle εἰσελθών (eiselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

¹⁰ tn The address, “favored one” (a perfect participle, Grk “Oh one who is favored”) points to Mary as the recipient of God’s grace, not a bestower of it. She is a model saint in this passage, one who willingly receives God’s benefits. The Vulgate rendering “full of grace” suggests something more of Mary as a bestower of grace, but does not make sense here contextually.

¹¹ tc Most mss (A C D Θ Ë¹³ 33 Ï latt sy) read here εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν (euloghmenh su en gunaixin, “blessed are you among women”) which also appears in 1:42 (where it is textually certain). This has the earmarks of a scribal addition for balance; the shorter reading, attested by the most important witnesses and several others (א B L W Ψ Ë¹ 565 579 700 1241 pc co), is thus preferred.
