Study Lenses

The verse centers on "angel", "saide", "vnto", "feare", "marie", "thou", "hast", and "found". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "angel" and "saide", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 29's "And when she saw him she was..." into verse 31's "For loe thou shalt conceiue in thy...", so "angel" and "saide" belong inside that flow. In Luke context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "angel" and "saide" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
