1:32He104 will be great,105 and will be called the Son of the Most High,106 and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father107 David. 1:33He108 will reign over the house of Jacob109 forever, and his kingdom will never end.”
Footnotes
- 104 Grk “this one.”
- 105 Compare the description of Jesus as great here with 1:15, “great before the Lord.” Jesus is greater than John, since he is Messiah compared to a prophet. Great is stated absolutely without qualification to make the point.
- 106 The expression Most High is a way to refer to God without naming him. Such avoiding of direct reference to God was common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.
- 107 Or “ancestor.”
- 108 Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. A new sentence is begun here in the translation because of the length of the sentence in Greek.
- 109 Or “over Israel.” The expression house of Jacob refers to Israel. This points to the Messiah’s relationship to the people of Israel.
