Context of Luke 1:37
35The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.

For no word from God will ever fail.” 38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her. 39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
