1:52He has brought down the mighty161 from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position;162
1:53he has filled the hungry with good things,163 and has sent the rich away empty.164
Footnotes
- 161 Or “rulers.”
- 162 Or “those of humble position” The contrast between the mighty and those of lowly position is fundamental for Luke. God cares for those that the powerful ignore (Luke 4:18–19).
- 163 Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.
- 164 Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20–26).
