Luke 1:35

ἐκ σοῦ omitted by nearly all the best MSS.

35. Πνεῦμα ἅγιον. The phrase is anarthrous (i.e. the article is omitted) because ‘Holy Spirit’ is here a proper name.

ἐπισκιάσει σοι, as with the Shechinah and Cloud of Glory (see on Luke 2:9; Luke 9:34). See the treatise on the Shechinah in Meuschen, pp. 701–739. On the high theological mystery see Pearson On the Creed, Art. 3. See on Luke 2:9.

τὸ ἅγιον. “Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,” Hebrews 7:26. “Who did no sin,” 1 Peter 2:22.

γεννώμενον. ‘Which is in thy womb.’ Galatians 4:4, “born of a woman.”

υἱὸς θεοῦ. This title is given to our Lord by almost every one of the sacred writers in the N. T. and in a multitude of passages.
