Luke 1:56

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 1:5-79

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

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

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

‘And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house.’ Mary then spent the next three months with Elisabeth before returning home. During this time she would gain much encouragement from the wiser and older woman, and it would enable her to be sure that the promised child was indeed coming in peaceful surroundings. It says much for Elisabeth that Mary knew to whom she could with confidence look in the traumatic events that were taking place in her life. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:39-56

Luke 1:39-Titus : . Mary Visits Elisabeth. The Magnificat.— The passage links the two preceding incidents, and serves to show the inferiority of John the forerunner, to Jesus the Messiah. Mary (finding herself with child) proceeds to verify the sign. She seeks Elisabeth in a Judæ an village (perhaps Ain Karim, six miles west of Jerusalem, where a ruin called Mar Zacharias is shown). Elisabeth’ s unborn babe recognises the mother of the Messiah, and Elisabeth herself knows of Mary’ s honour,... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 1:56

It is most probable that she staid with her until she was brought to bed, not leaving her just at the time of her travail, but she staid not long after, but went home: by this time she must herself know that she was with child; and here in the true order of the history cometh in what we had Matthew 1:18-25; See Poole on "Matthew 1:18" and following verses to Matthew 1:25. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 1:39-56

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 1:39. City of Judah.—The city is not named. Probably it was not Hebron, as a place so well known would most likely have been named. The conjecture that Judah is a corruption of Juttah, a priestly city (Joshua 21:16), is unsupported by MS. authority. Probably the place referred to was to the south of Jerusalem and to the west of the Dead Sea.Luke 1:41. The salutation of Mary.—I.e. her salutation as she entered, and not the salutation addressed to her by the angel Gabriel, and... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 1:1-80

Luke, the author of this third gospel, was called by Paul the apostle "the beloved physician." There is some speculation that his patron was a man by the name of Theophilus. In those days physicians were often slaves. And there are some who theorize that Luke was Theophilus' personal physician and servant. Whether or not that be so is only a matter of speculation, and thus, worthless to delve into.Luke was a Greek. And he is the only Gentile to have the privilege of placing scripture in that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 1:1-80

Luke 1:1 . Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things, which within a short compass of years have been acted and accomplished among us. In the first age, Eusebius admits, that no less than sixty gospels had made their appearance; a number which Mr. Whiston repeats without scruple or disbelief. The fathers, Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine, allow that the number was considerable. Heretics wrote gospels, of which Ambrose says, “they have filled... read more

Luke 1:56-80Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should he deliveredThe nativity of John the BaptistThat which was miraculous at the beginning became natural towards the close.This is seen in the case of Elisabeth, as recorded in the fifty-seventh verse. True also of spiritual generation. Begins in mystery and proceeds to prove itself by all that is practical in behaviour. The work of the Holy Ghost in the heart of man can never be explained; it will ever be as miraculous as the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 1:56

56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. Ver. 56. And returned to her own house ] An honest heart is found where its calling is. Such a one, when he is abroad, is like a fish in the air; whereinto if it leap for recreation or necessity, yet it soon returns to its own element. read more
