John Trapp Complete Commentary

Luke 1:29

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

Ver. 29. She was troubled at his saying] Affect not the vain praises of men, saith one. The blessed Virgin was troubled when truly praised by an angel. They shall be praised by angels in heaven who have eschewed the praises of men on earth.

What manner of salutation] Cuius esset (saith one interpreter) voluit enim probate spiritum. Qualis et quanta, saith another; Id est, quam honorifica et magnifica, ac proinde supra sortem suam posita. What an honourable salutation it was, and more than she could acknowledge.
