He told Zechariah that he would have a son with his old wife Elizabeth. Zechariah didn't believe Gabriel so he told him he would be struck dumb until his son was born and he was to name his son John.
He appeared to Mary and said "Hail, full of Grace, you have found favor with the Lord, and you will have a son and name him Emanuel". Mary excitedly said "How is this to be? I don't know any man". The angel Gabriel said "The Holy Spirit will overshadow you and you will conceive" " She then said "I am the Handmaid of the Lord, let it be done unto me according to his will"
Joseph found out Mary was with child and he thought she had been untrue to her betrothal vows so he planned to divorce her privately so she would not be stoned, but that night Gabriel came to him in his dream and told him that the child Mary was carrying was a child of the most high God and when he was born he was to name him Jesus so he was not to be concerned about taking Mary to be his wife.
