Lucas 1:41-45, Lucas 1:67-79 NVI

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 1:1-99

Luke 1 IN THE OPENING verses Luke avows the object before him in writing his Gospel; he wished to bring certainty to the mind of a certain Gentile convert. God had given him a perfect understanding of all things from the outset, so now he wrote them “in order,” or “with method;” and we shall see as we proceed that he sometimes ignores historical order to present things in a method that is moral and spiritual. The understanding of that moral and spiritual order, together with having the facts... read more

the Song of the Virgin Mother Luke 1:39-56 Zacharias lived in a Levitical city in the hill country of Judah. The narrative evidently implies that there had been no previous communication between the two women of what had happened. In their greeting both were led and taught of the Spirit. Evidently Mary was living in close familiarity with the Scriptures. Often she had been deeply moved by their radiant promises, and had pleaded that God would at last help His people and send the Savior. Now... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 1:1-80

The Seven Magnificats Selections from Luke 1:1-80 and Luke 2:1-52 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the seven Magnificats, we will study the annunciation of the birth of Christ, as it was given by the angel unto Mary. Our study will follow Luke 1:27-38 . 1. The virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph. We emphasize that Mary was a virgin. This was plainly set forth in the prophetic Scriptures, when the Holy Ghost wrote, "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall... read more

The Revelations of God Luke 1:5-79 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We begin here a series of studies taken from the Gospel of Luke. This is the Gospel that emphasizes the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of Man. It will suggest many things to us that will bring great blessings. We trust that God will be with us in our studies. Let us observe several things about visions and revelations in general, and in detail the particular vision that came to Zacharias. 1. We know God by revelation. No one by searching... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:39-56

Mary Visits Elisabeth Who Prophesies by the Holy Spirit Over Jesus and Mary and Rejoices and Worships God (1:39-56). Elisabeth’s months of retreat were partly interrupted by the arrival of Mary in the sixth month (which at least partly explains why there were only five months of retreat). But this was not something that could cause frustration, for her coming resulted in a sign from God of the relationship that there would be between John and Jesus, and resulted in an outburst of prophecy... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:41

‘And it came about that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb,’ When Elisabeth heard Mary’s voice, and her greeting, she was aware of an unusual movement within her. It was as though the babe leapt in her womb. He was ‘filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother’s womb’ (Luke 1:15), and even now discerned the one who was to be God’s instrument in bringing the Son of God into the world. And Elisabeth was at that moment filled with exaltation in the Spirit and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:41-42

‘And Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said,’ As a result of a temporary ‘filling (pimplemi) with the Holy Spirit’ Elisabeth became a temporary prophetess. Note the ‘loud cry’ which was evidence of her emotions. She was speaking because she was greatly stirred. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:42-45

“Blessed are you among women, And blessed is the fruit of your womb. And whence is this to me, That the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, The babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she who believed, For there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.” Note Elisabeth’s emphasis. It is on ‘the Lord’, just as Mary’s response will be. These two women were not exalting each other. Both... read more
