translationNotes
- How will this happen - This could be translated as "How is this possible?" Though Mary did not understand how it could happen, she did not doubt that it would happen.
- will come over you - This phrase and the next one are ways of saying that the Holy Spirit would supernaturally cause Mary to become pregnant even while she still remained a virgin. Make sure it is clear that there was no physical union involved; this was a miracle.
- The power of - This could be translated as "By his power."
- will overshadow you - This could be translated as "will cover you like a shadow" or "will be with you" or, "will cause this to happen." Again, make sure this does not imply any physical union.
- the holy one - "the holy child" or "the holy baby"
- will be called - This could be translated as "people will call him" or "people will acknowledge that he is."
