Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 1:19

_ _ Gabriel — signifying “man of God,” the same who appeared to Daniel at the time of incense (Daniel 9:21) and to Mary (Luke 1:26).

_ _ stand, etc. — as his attendant (compare 1 Kings 17:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 1:5-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 1:19

I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God — Seven angels thus stand before God, Revelation 7:2; who seem the highest of all. There seems to be a remarkable gradation in the words, enhancing the guilt of Zacharias's unbelief. As if he had said, I am Gabriel, a holy angel of God: yea, one of the highest order. Not only so, but am now peculiarly sent from God; and that with a message to thee in particular. Nay, and to show thee glad tidings, such as ought to be received with the greatest joy and readiness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 1:19

And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, (x) that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

(x) That appears, for so the Hebrews use this saying "to stand" to mean that they are ready to do his commandment.
