Lucas 1:77 NVIPT

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

Luke ZACHARIAS’S HYMN Luk_1:67 - Luk_1:80 . Zacharias was dumb when he disbelieved. His lips were opened when he believed. He is the last of the Old Testament prophets, [Footnote: In the strictest sense, John the Baptist was a prophet of the Old dispensation, even though he came to usher in the New. See Mat_11:9 - Mat_11:11 . In the same sense, Zacharias was the last prophet of the Old dispensation, before the coming of his son to link the Old with the New.] and as standing nearest to the... read more

the Song at the Herald’s Birth Luke 1:57-80 This song is second only to that of Mary. It is a noble ode, tracing our Lord’s advent back to the early covenant of God with the fathers and anticipating its effects to the end of time. It is wholesome to apply the song to ourselves and ask how far we have participated in these great blessings. Are we experiencing this daily salvation from our spiritual enemies, who hate us? Do we serve God without the slavish fear of the serf, and with the loyal... read more

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 1:58-80

Zacharias Prophesies by The Holy Spirit Concerning the Coming of the Messiah, and His Own Son’s Part in Preparing the Way for the Messiah. (1:58-80). We are not told when the following prophecy took place. It may have been immediately when his tongue was loosed and he blessed God (Luke 1:64). Or it may have been much later. But meanwhile all the people were asking themselves questions about John and wondering about what he was going to turn out to be. Judaea was a very religious country, where... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 1:77

‘To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,’ God’s purpose for John was for him to be a revealer of the way of salvation that men might become aware of their sins and find forgiveness from them. That is why his baptism will be called ‘a baptism of repentance (change of mind and heart) for the forgiveness of sins’ (Luke 3:3). He is to make ready the way of the Lord by turning men’s hearts to God in repentance and faith (compare Luke 1:16-17) so that they will... read more

Luke 1:57-Prayer of Manasseh : . The Birth of John. The Benedictas.— In due course Elisabeth bore her son and received the congratulations of her friends. When the babe has been circumcised and named, his mother rejects the proposal to call him Zacharias and insists on John. The deaf and dumb father confirms his wife’ s wish, and his power of speech is restored. The whole incident made a great impression in the district, and people recognised that some great future was before the lad, for as... read more
