The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.

Notes

The Holy Spirit will come upon you: The conception of Jesus (how he began to grow in Mary’s womb) was a miracle, by the power of the Most High (a title for God). The text does not explain how this happened.
