Mary did not doubt the angel. She asked for information: "How will this come to be, since I do not know man?" Zechariah doubted: "How will I know this?" The obvious answer to Zechariah was, "I just told you." That's why he was struck dumb, and Mary was given an answer.

Did angel Gabriel announce the coming of Jesus only to Mary?

------------------------ In Matthew's Gospel, the angel announced the coming of Jesus only to Joseph. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In Luke's Gospel, the angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus only to Mary. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Joseph. This difference reflects the independence of the two nativity stories from each other.


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

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.
