Bible Verses About Son of the Highest: 12

"He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,"

— Luke 1:32 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Son of the Highest want Scripture on Gabriel's Annunciation title — the Son of the Most High in Luke 1:32, with the Most High overshadowing Mary in Luke 1:35 — not only a general Son of God confession survey or Son of Man title alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about Son of God, Bible verses about Son of Man, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about only begotten, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about eternal life, Bible verses about God's love, and Bible verse of the day. Son of the Highest here means the Most-High sonship announced before the birth — distinct from Son-of-God or Son-of-Man surveys alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, "Most High / Highest" is ὕψιστος hypsistos (Strong's G5310; Bible Hub G5310) — highest, most high; used of God as the Most High. Luke 1:32 joins it to sonship: he will be called the Son of the Most High. Luke 1:35 adds that the power of the Most High will overshadow Mary. This list tracks that Annunciation title and the Most High's name across Scripture, not every Son-of-God confession alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Luke 1 presses that the child would be the Son of the Highest and sit on David's throne (Bible Hub MHC Luke 1; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Luke 1). (Son of God and Son of Man live on those pages; this list centers hypsistos sonship.)
