路加福音 1:64-66 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 1:57-66

In these verses, we have, I. The birth of John Baptist, Luke 1:57. Though he was conceived in the womb by miracle, he continued in the womb according to the ordinary course of nature (so did our Saviour): Elisabeth's full time came, that she should be delivered, and then she brought forth a son. Promised mercies are to be expected when the full time for them is come, and not before. II. The great joy that was among all the relations of the family, upon this extraordinary occasion (Luke 1:58):... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 1:57-66

1:57-66 When Elizabeth's time to bear the child was completed she brought forth a son. When her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her they rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they went to circumcise the child and it was their intention to call him Zacharias after his father. But his mother said, "No; he must be called John." They said to her, "There is no one in your connection who is called by this name." They asked his father by signs by what name he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 1:64

And his mouth was opened immediately ,.... As soon as ever the child was named, and so all things accomplished which the angel had foretold, and his tongue loosed ; the impediments of speech were removed, and the use of his tongue and lips was restored unto him: and he spake and praised God ; for the safe delivery of his wife; for the birth of his son, the forerunner of Christ; for the conception of the Messiah; for God's gracious regards to his church and people, in these instances;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 1:65

And fear came on all that dwelt round about them ,.... That is, the fear of God, an awful reverence of the divine majesty; they perceived the hand of God was in these things, and that these were effects of divine power; and which made very serious impressions upon their minds, and they thought, and spoke of them with great solemnity; see Acts 2:43 . and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea : the several things relating to the appearance of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 1:66

And all they that heard them ,.... The above things, laid them up in their hearts; treasured them up in their memories, and often thought of them in their minds, what should be the meaning, and what would be the issue of them: saying, what manner of child shall this be? what will he be, or come to? and what is it that he shall do? surely he must be designed in providence to be put into some high station, and some eminent work and service; since so many, and such great things, have gone... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:64

The latter clause of the preceding verse should be joined with the beginning of this, as follows: And they marveled all, for his mouth was opened, etc. Every person must see the propriety of putting this clause, And they marveled all, to the beginning of the 64th verse, instead of leaving it at the end of the 63rd, as in the common version. The people did not wonder because Zacharias said, He shall be called John; but because he himself was that instant restored to the use of his speech. ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:65

And fear came - Seeing what they might have thought a paralytic affection so suddenly and effectually healed. Φοβος - This word certainly means in several places, religious fear or reverence; and in this sense it is used Acts 9:31 ; Romans 3:18 ; Romans 13:7 ; 1 Peter 1:17 ; 1 Peter 2:18 ; 1 Peter 3:2 . The meaning of it here is plainly this: The inhabitants of Hebron and its environs, who were well acquainted with the circumstances of Zacharias and Elisabeth, perceived that... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:66

What manner of child shall this be! - As there have been so many extraordinary things in his conception and birth, surely God has designed him for some extraordinary purpose. These things they laid up in their heart, patiently waiting to see what God would work. The hand of the Lord was with him - God defended and prospered him in all things, and the prophetic spirit began to rest upon him. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:64

Verse 64 64.And his mouth was instantly opened God puts honor on the birth of his prophet by restoring speech to his father: for there can be no doubt that this benefit was delayed till that day with the express object and design of fixing the eyes of men upon John. Zacharias spake, blessing God He did so, not only for the purpose of testifying his gratitude, but to inform his relatives and neighbors, that this punishment had been inflicted on him, because he had been too slow to believe: for... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:65

Verse 65 65.And fear fell upon all This fear mentioned by Luke proceeded from a feeling of the divine power: for the works of God ought to be contemplated by us with such reverence as to affect our minds with seriousness. (66) God does not amuse us with his miracles, but arouses the senses of men, which he perceives to be in a dormant state. (67) Luke says also that the report of those things was circulated in all the mountainous district of Judea And yet many derived no advantage from the... read more
