Footnotes

  1. 211 Grk “and,” but specifying the reason for the praise in the psalm.
  2. 212 The phrase raised up means for God to bring someone significant onto the scene of history.
  3. 213 The horn of salvation is a figure that refers to the power of Messiah and his ability to protect, as the horn refers to what an animal uses to attack and defend (Ps 75:4–5, 10; 148:14; 2 Sam 22:3). Thus the meaning of the figure is “a powerful savior.”
  4. 214 In the house of his servant David is a reference to Messiah’s Davidic descent. Zechariah is more interested in Jesus than his own son John at this point.
