John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 1:27

Espoused — It was customary among the Jews, for persons that married to contract before witnesses some time before. And as Christ was to be born of a pure virgin, so the wisdom of God ordered it to be of one espoused, that to prevent reproach he might have a reputed father, according to the flesh.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 1:27

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the (y) house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.

(y) The same can be said of Mary, otherwise Christ would not have been of the stock of David, nor his son.
