What Luke 1:37 means

Luke 1:37 is the angel's sentence to Mary: “For nothing will be impossible with our Father.” It is the last word he gives her before she answers.

Mary has just asked a real question: “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel answers in verse 35: “The Holy Spirit will come over you, and the Most High's power will shadow you; so the holy child born will be called the Son of our Father.” Then he gives her a sign in verse 36: “Look, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age—this is the sixth month for her called barren.” Verse 37 follows as the reason both can be believed.

Mary's reply in verse 38 is: “I am the servant of our Father; let it happen to me as you said.” She does not ask for more proof. She answers the promise with trust.
