Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 35. - The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Again the angel makes use of the term "Highest" when alluding to the eternal Father. The expression of Gabriel, "the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee," reminds us of the opening words of Genesis, where the writer describes the dawn of life in creation in the words, "The Spirit of God moved [or, 'brooded'] over the face of the deep." "The Word was conceived in the womb of a woman, not after the manner of men, but by the singular, powerful, invisible, immediate operation of the Holy Ghost, whereby a virgin was, beyond the law of nature, enabled to conceive, and that which was conceived in her was originally and cmnpletcly sanctified" (art. 3, Bishop Pearson on the Creed).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(35) The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee.--See Note on Luke 1:15. Here, however, the context would suggest to one familiar with the sacred writings, another aspect of the Spirit's work, as quickening the dead chaos into life (Genesis 1:2), as being the source of life to all creation (Psalm 104:30).The power of the Highest shall overshadow thee.--The divine name is used in obvious harmony with "the Son of the Highest" in Luke 1:32.Therefore also . . . shall be called the Son of God.--The words appear to rest the title, "Son of God," rather on the supernatural birth than on the eternal pre-existence of the Son as the Word that was "in the beginning with God and was God" (John 1:1), and we may accept the fact that the message of the angel was so far a partial, not a complete, revelation of the mystery of the Incarnation. It gave a sufficient reason for the name which should be given to the Son of Mary, and more was not then required. . . .
