What was Mary's response when the angel told her that she would give birth to the Messiah?

Answer 1

Mary's response is recorded in Luke 1. Initially she was surprised because she was a virgin, then she was submissive to God's plan, and finally Mary showed great joy and praised God in her words which are sometimes referred to as the Magnificat. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

Answer 2

I have no doubt that Mary would have reacted the same as any other woman when they found themselves to be with child. Mary must have had cross her mind the words of the angel who visited her and told her of the events that were to take place. That she had been with no man, but had been overcome by the Spirit would have seemed as a wonder to her.

Answer 3

According to the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 1:

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

28 And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed areyou among women!"

29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.

30 Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.

32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

34 Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"

35 And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing will be impossible."

38 Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

Answer 4

Mary responded with acceptance and faith, saying, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." This demonstrates her willingness to fulfill God's plan despite the challenges it would bring.
