路加福音 1:20 RCUVSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 1:18-20

Luke 1:18-20. Zacharias said, Whereby shall I know this? In how different a spirit did the blessed Virgin say, How shall this be? Zacharias disbelieved the prediction, as appears from Luke 1:20, and therefore was justly punished: Mary had no doubt of the fulfilment of what was foretold, but only inquired concerning the manner of it. And the angel said, I am Gabriel “I am the same servant of God (so the name Gabriel signifies, being, by interpretation, vir Dei, a man or servant of God)... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 1:5-25

2. Birth of John the Baptist foretold (Luke 1:5-25)Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, was a priest. Because all male descendants of Aaron were priests, there were, even in Old Testament times, too many priests for the amount of work to be done. David therefore divided them into twenty-four divisions, and each division served for two weeks each year. Zechariah belonged to the division of Abijah (Luke 1:5; cf. 1 Chronicles 24:1-19). (All priests would be required for duty during the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 1:20

And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.Thou shalt be silent ... This punishing rebuke was appropriate. Since Zacharias had not believed God's word as delivered by Gabriel, his own words were cut off until the time appointed. From Luke 1:62, it is certain that Zacharias also lost his hearing at the same time. Implicit in this episode is the injunction... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 1:20

Luke 1:20. Thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak,— The affirmation of a thing joined with the denial of its contrary, is an idiom peculiar to the Jewish language, and is the strongest affirmation possible. The style of St. John is remarkable for the frequency of this idiom. See on Luke 1:22. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 1:5-25

A. The announcement of John the Baptist’s birth 1:5-25There are striking parallels to this account in the Old Testament. Zechariah and Elizabeth were similar to Abraham and Sarah, to Jacob and Rachel, to Elkanah and Hannah, and to Samson’s parents. In each case there was a divine announcement of the birth of an unusual child. read more

II. THE BIRTH AND CHILDHOOD OF JESUS 1:5-2:52This section contains material unique in Luke. The only repeated statement occurs in Luke 2:39 and Matthew 2:23. Other unique features are the way Luke alternated the reader’s attention between John and Jesus, and the joy that several individuals expressed (Luke 1:46-55; Luke 1:68-79; Luke 2:14; Luke 2:29-32). [Note: For studies of the structure of this passage, see Robert C. Tannehill, The Narrative Unity of Luke-Acts , 1:15-20; R. E. Brown, The... read more

2. The angel’s announcement to Zechariah 1:8-23"It seems indeed most fitting that the Evangelic story should have taken its beginning within the Sanctuary, and at the time of sacrifice." [Note: Ibid., 1:144.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 1:18-20

When Abraham received the angelic announcement that God would give him the Promised Land, he, too, requested a confirming sign (Genesis 15:8), which God provided. However, Zechariah should have simply believed the angel’s announcement and given God thanks for it, as Abraham later did (Genesis 17:17-18), and as Manoah and his wife did (Judges 13:2-21). Instead he asked for some verification of the promise, probably a sign (cf. Luke 11:29). The angel gave him a sign, but it cost Zechariah... read more
