The Announcement of Jesus Luke 1:32–33 Excerpt The angel predicted five things about Mary’s Son. 1.  He will be great. 2. He  will be called the Son of the Most High  (cf. v.  76 ). The Septuagint often used the term “Most High” ( hypsistou ) to translate the Hebrew   ‘elyôn   ( cf . v .  76 ). Mary could not have missed the significance of that terminology. The fact that her Baby was to be called the “Son of the Most High” pointed to His equality with Yahweh. In Semitic thought a son was a “carbon copy” of his father, and the phrase “son of” was often used to refer to one who possessed his “father’s” qualities ( e.g. , the Heb. trans. “son of wickedness” in Ps.  89:22  [ kjv ] means a wicked person). 3.
