The angel declares the son is to be named Jesus, the Messiah, proclaiming he will be called a great prophet, and is the "Spirit of God" and "Word of God", who will receive al-Injīl (Arabic for the gospel). The angel tells Mary that Jesus will speak in infancy, and when mature, will be a companion to the most righteous. Mary, asking how she could conceive and have a child when no man had touched her, was answered by the angel that God can decree what He wills, and it shall come to pass.
