Commentary on Luke 1:38
Mary's response demonstrates the Greek word 'hupēretis' (handmaid/servant), indicating willing submission to God's will despite the enormous personal cost and social stigma she would face. Her words 'be it unto me according to thy word' echo the passive voice, showing she recognized herself as the recipient of God's action rather than an active participant. This exemplifies saving faith—trusting submission to God's revealed word—and contrasts sharply with Zechariah's unbelief (Luke 1:18-20).
