Footnotes
- 73 Grk “After these days.” The phrase refers to a general, unspecified period of time that passes before fulfillment comes.
- 74 Or “Elizabeth conceived.”
- 75 The text does not state why Elizabeth withdrew into seclusion, nor is the reason entirely clear.
- 76 Grk “she kept herself in seclusion, saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 77 Grk “Thus.”
- 78 Grk “in the days.”
- 79 Grk “has looked on me” (an idiom for taking favorable notice of someone).
- 80 Barrenness was often seen as a reproach or disgrace (Lev 20:20–21; Jer 22:30), but now at her late age (the exact age is never given in Luke’s account), God had miraculously removed it (see also Luke 1:7).
- 81 Grk “among men”; but the context clearly indicates a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) here.
