Luke 1:33-35
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
33 and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”(A) 34 But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”[a] 35 And the angel said to her in reply, “The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.(B)

- 1:34 Mary’s questioning response is a denial of sexual relations and is used by Luke to lead to the angel’s declaration about the Spirit’s role in the conception of this child (Lk 1:35). According to Luke, the virginal conception of Jesus takes place through the holy Spirit, the power of God, and therefore Jesus has a unique relationship to Yahweh: he is Son of God.
