NET Notes

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Gabriel’s statement is a response to Mary’s perplexity over the greeting.

2 sn Do not be afraid. See 1:13 for a similar statement to Zechariah.

3 tn Or “grace.”

3 sn The expression found favor is a Semitism, common in the OT (Gen 6:8; 18:3; 43:14; 2 Sam 15:25). God has chosen to act on this person’s behalf.
