The angel Gabriel, who had appeared to Mary to tell her about herself and her role as the mother of Jesus, revealed this to her later in the conversation.
26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,.... 36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
The archangel Gabriel.
"Let it be done unto me according to thy word."
According to the gospel of Luke, Mary was told about her pregnancy by an angel.
The angel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. This event is known as the Annunciation and is described in the Bible in the Gospel of Luke.
The old man in the temple who at once recognized that the baby of Joseph and Mary was the Messiah, he also told Mary that a sword would Pearce your heart because of him. He also said now let your servant depart in peace. He was about 80 years old but he was sure it was the Messiah the people had waited for centuries to come.
AnswerLargely this is not true, but it depends somewhat on which gospel and which nativity story you wish to read. In Matthew's Gospel, Mary already knew she would have a baby when an angel visited Joseph to tell him that Mary's baby was conceived by the Holy Ghost. The Gospel does not say, but Joseph would have told Mary the tidings.In Luke's Gospel, an angel visited Mary even before she conceived and told her she would have a baby. The Gospel does not say, but Mary would have told Joseph the tidings.
The Christmas angel is based on the angel Gabriel who told Mary that she would have a baby; Jesus.
Joseph was the step-father to Our Lord Savior Jesus Christ!!! Joseph in the Old Testament was a boy that his brothers sold to Egypt. Joseph married a daughter of the priest of Egypt.
Joseph and Mary fled with the baby Jesus to Egypt, as the angel told Joseph to flee as the king Herod wanted to kill all the babies.
God sent the baby to Mary. Gabriel told Mary what was to happen to her.
An angel at the tomb told the disciples that Jesus was not there, as he had risen from the dead.
Gabriel (Daniel 9)
