Luke 1:30

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Luke 1:30 Modern English Version (MEV)
 
*****************
 
Fear not, Mary - Do not be alarmed at this appearance of an angel. He only comes to announce to you good tidings. Similar language was addressed by an angel to Joseph. See the notes at Mat_1:20.
 
Thou hast found favour with God - Eminent favor or mercy in being selected to be the mother of the Messiah.
 
Albert Barne’s Notes on the Bible
 
*****************
 
I’m thinking that in these days and times, an angel showing up like that would be short, not that shooting an angel would actually do anything, but still.
