    Luke 2:21

    What is this about an Angel called Jesus?

    Is someone messing with our Bible?

    Does anyone have an old KJV to check?

    Hi Linda.

    What Luke 2:21 is saying this is which what was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Other words the Angel Gabriel was instructed by God to name Mary's child "Jesus "

    Here's the account.

    Luke 1:26-31. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

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

    And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

    And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

    And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

    And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

    I hope this helps.

    God bless.

    Linda, in addition to Gigi and Ruach reply, let me add context to fully understand and answer your question.

    Luke 1:33 Context 30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

    Luke 2:21 21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

    Dear Linda, Ruach has it right.

    The angel, Gabriel, announced to Mary that she would conceive the Son of God. The angel told Mary that this child's name is Jesus, because He will save us from our sins. Jesus in Hebrew, means YHWH saves. The angel did not name Jesus, per se. He is God's messenger and was telling Mary what God told him to tell her about this holy child she was to bear and what to name Him.

    Of the Angel is to say BY the Angel

    Which was so named by the angel before He was conceived in the womb
