Luke 1:33 NLT,NIV,ESV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 1:33

Over the house of Jacob - The house of Jacob means the same thing as the “family” of Jacob, or the descendants of Jacob - that is, the children of Israel. This was the name by which the ancient people of God were known, and it is the same as saying that he would reign over his own church and people forever. This he does by giving them laws, by defending them, and by guiding them; and this he will do forever in the kingdom of his glory.Of his kingdom there shall be no end - He shall reign among... read more

Luke 1:31-33. Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb Though a virgin, strange to say, thou shalt have the honour of being a mother; thou shalt bring forth a son, and that son no ordinary person, but the restorer of human nature, and Saviour of the world; and therefore thou shalt call his name Jesus Or Joshua, a Saviour. He shall be great Great indeed! greater than all others that ever partook of the human nature: great in respect of his person, his offices, and his kingdom: for he... read more

3. An angel prepares Mary (Luke 1:26-38)Six months after Gabriel appeared to Zechariah in the temple in Jerusalem, the same angel appeared to Mary in the town of Nazareth in Galilee. Mary was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph (Luke 1:26-28). She was startled and puzzled when the angel told her that, though still a virgin, she would give birth to a son, and this son would be the promised Messiah. He would be in a unique sense God’s Son and his kingdom would be eternal (Luke 1:29-34).... read more

Luke 1:33. And of his kingdom there shall be no end.— So the prophet Isaiah 9:6-7. Unto us a child is born, &c. of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. The kingdom of Christ is twofold. 1. His spiritual kingdom, or the dominion of righteousness in the minds of men. 2. His temporal kingdom, or the outward dispensation of the Gospel, together with an exercise of government over the world, by which all events are managed so as to promote the empire of righteousness... 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

B. The announcement of Jesus’ birth 1:26-56This section parallels the one immediately preceding (Luke 1:5-25). Their forms are so similar that Luke must have arranged them to bring out the similarities between them. Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus as he had John’s birth. Again the fact of a divinely initiated birth announcement shows the unique significance of the individual to be born. In the preceding section the father was the main figure, but in this one the mother is."Luke presents... read more

Like John, Jesus would be great (Luke 1:15). However, He would be the Son of God, a clear statement of His deity (Psalms 2:7-9; Psalms 89:26-29; cf. Luke 1:35). The "Most High" is a common designation of God in the Old Testament (Heb. El Elyon, Genesis 14:18; et al.). It carried over into the New Testament (Luke 1:35; Luke 1:76; Luke 6:35; Luke 8:28; Acts 7:48; Acts 16:17; Hebrews 7:1-3). The Greeks also used the title "Most High" to describe their gods.
