Study Lenses

The verse centers on "thou", "shalt", "conceiue", "wobe", "beare", "sonne", and "call". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "thou" and "shalt", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 30's "Then the Angel saide vnto her Feare..." into verse 32's "He shall be great and shall be...", so "thou" and "shalt" 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 "thou" and "shalt" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
