Virgin Mary in the Bible The humble servant of the Lord
Titles of Mother Mary in the Bible ![]() 1- The Bible calls Virgin Mary the Mother of Jesus, the Mother of God, in Mat.1 and Lk.1: - Lk.1:30: "But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favour with God. 31: You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32: He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." (Lk.1:30-32). - Mat.1:18: This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
