Context of Luke 1:29

27Gabriel went there to visit a young woman. Her name was Mary. She had never had sex with anyone. She had promised to marry a man called Joseph. He belonged to the family of King David. 28Gabriel went to Mary and said, ‘Hello, Mary. The Lord God loves you very much. He is very near to you.’ Mary had a lot of problems in her mind about Gabriel's message. She did not understand what he meant. 30Then Gabriel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary. God has been kind to you. 31Listen! A baby boy will grow inside you. When he is born, you will call him Jesus.
