Luke 1:64 - Exposition

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. This, the first hour of his recovered power, was without doubt the occasion of his giving utterance to the inspired hymn (the Benedictus) which is recorded at length a few verses further on ( Luke 1:68-79 ). It. was the outcome, no doubt, of his silent communing with the Spirit during the long months of his affliction.
