Usage: The name Γαβριήλ is used in the New Testament to refer to the angel Gabriel, a messenger of God who appears in key biblical narratives.

Context: Γαβριήλ (Gabriel) is one of the few angels named in the Bible, recognized for his role as a divine messenger. In the New Testament, Gabriel appears in two significant passages:

Luke 1:11-20: Gabriel appears to Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, while he is serving in the temple. Gabriel announces the forthcoming birth of John, who will prepare the way for the Lord. Zechariah's initial disbelief results in his temporary muteness, as Gabriel declares, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news" (Luke 1:19, BSB).

Luke 1:26-38: Gabriel is sent by God to Nazareth to visit Mary, a virgin betrothed to Joseph. He announces the miraculous conception of Jesus, the Son of the Most High, emphasizing the divine nature of the message. Gabriel reassures Mary, saying, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God" (Luke 1:30, BSB).

Gabriel's appearances are characterized by his role as a herald of significant divine interventions, emphasizing God's direct involvement in human history. His messages often bring about pivotal changes and fulfillments of prophecy, underscoring the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.
