And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
The events surrounding the birth of Jesus are located in Nazareth, a small town among the hills of Galilee. Though despised and poor, it was chosen as the home of the Redeemer. Nazareth was the home of Joseph and Mary, who later became known as the earthly parents of Jesus. Mary herself was a pure and pious virgin who was to be His mother.
The announcement of the angel to Mary took place in her home at Nazareth. From that day she treasured every evidence that Jesus was the Messiah. His sweet, unselfish life assured her that He could be no other than the Sent of God. Yet she also knew doubts and disappointments while she longed for the time when His glory should be revealed.
The verse has been linked with the claim that the Holy Ghost is the angel Gabriel rather than the Spirit of God, which is Christ. That belief stands identified as disputed.
