What does the Bible say about Mary?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible recognizes Mary as highly favored by God but does not ascribe to her any role of worship or preeminence.

In Luke 1:28, the angel Gabriel affirms that Mary is 'highly favored' by God, indicating her special role in salvation history. However, throughout Scripture, we see that no human, including Mary, is to be worshiped or placed above others. In Acts 10:25-26, the Apostle Peter declines worship, stating he is merely a man, illustrating that worship is reserved for God alone. Mary's own words in Luke 1 emphasize her humility—she identifies as a 'handmaid' or female slave of the Lord, showing dependence on His grace rather than any inherent authority or power of her own.
