2017-12-12 06:13:24 +00:00
Mary will bear "a son" who will be called "the Son of the Most High." Jesus is therefore a human son born of a human mother, and he is also the Son of God. These terms should be translated very carefully.
# will be called
Possible meanings are 1) "people will call him" or 2) "God will call him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
