Best Answer

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.

Mary doubted the angel because she was surprised and confused by the message she received, as it seemed impossible for her to conceive a child without a husband. Additionally, she was likely aware of the social repercussions and challenges she would face if she became pregnant under such circumstances.

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.
