Footnotes

  1. Luke 1:54 tn Or “because he remembered mercy,” understanding the infinitive as causal.
  2. Luke 1:54 tn Or “his [God’s] loyal love.”
  3. Luke 1:55 tn Grk “as he spoke.” Since this is a reference to the covenant to Abraham, ἐλάλησεν (elalēsen) can be translated in context “as he promised.” God keeps his word.
  4. Luke 1:55 tn Grk “fathers.”
  5. Luke 1:55 tn Grk “his seed” (an idiom for offspring or descendants).
  6. Luke 1:56 tn Grk “And.” Here (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.
  7. Luke 1:56 tn Grk “her”; the referent (Elizabeth) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  8. Luke 1:56 sn As is typical with Luke the timing is approximate (about three months), not specific.
