The Angel Gabriel came to a young virgin in the city of Nazareth whose name was Mary. she was a relative of Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Messiah. Gabriel announced the good news to Mary that God would fulfill his promises to his people Israel, and that she would bear the special privilege of giving birth to the Messiah. Mary was a descendent of King David and it was predicted that the Messiah must come from the line of King David. Mary was betrothed to a man named Joseph who was also from the line of King David, but the holy child would not be an offspring of Joseph, but Mary would be impregnated by God himself, and Joseph would only be his legal father. Mary received the good news and trusted God.
