ὁ ἄγγελος. ACD Vulg[5] but omitted by BL and placed after αὐτὴν in אF.

[5] Vulg. Vulgate.

εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυν. are omitted by the Revisers with אB and some versions. They may be an accidental reminiscence of 5:42.

28. κεχαριτωμένη. Marg. “graciously accepted” or “much graced.” Literally, having been graced (by God). Ephesians 1:6, “accepted.” Not as in the Vulgate “Gratiâ plena” but “gratiâ cumulata.” “Not a mother of grace, but a daughter.” Bengel. The χαῖρε κεχ. is a pleasing paronomasia. The verb only occurs again in Ephesians 1:6.

[εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν.] These words are of dubious authenticity, being omitted by B and various versions. They may have been added from Luke 1:42. With this address comp. Judges 6:12.
