Gregory of Nyssa, on Luke 1:34
Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
Luke 1:34 · Douay-Rheims
“And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?”
On this verse:
“(Orat. in Diem Nat. Christi.) Hear the chaste words of the Virgin. The Angel tells her she shall bear a son, but she rests upon her virginity, deeming her inviolability a more precious thing than the Angel’s declaration. Hence she says, Seeing that I know not a man.”
