Luke 1
34 εἶπεν δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, Πῶς ἔσται τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;
35 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον ἅγιον κληθήσεται, υἱὸς θεοῦ.
cf. Acts 1:8,
ἀλλὰ λήμψεσθε δύναμιν ἐπελθόντος τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος ἐφ' ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μου μάρτυρες ἔν τε Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ [ἐν] πάσῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς
δύναμις ὑψίστου
the power of the most high
the most high of whom Melchizedek was priest
Genesis 14:18 LXX
καὶ Μελχισεδεκ βασιλεὺς Σαλημ ἐξήνεγκεν ἄρτους καὶ οἶνον· ἦν δὲ ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου
δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι
the power of the most high will overshadow you
ἐπισκιάζω - cast a shadow upon (like a cloud does)

cf. Psalms 91:1
sefaria.org/Psalms.91?ven=…
Πῶς ἔσται τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;
I think it to be about the "ed" of Genesis 2:6, the source for which there is no source
