2:30 For my eyes have seen your salvation 1
3:6 and all humanity 2 will see the salvation of God.’” 3
1 sn To see Jesus, the Messiah, is to see God’s salvation.
2 tn Grk “all flesh.”
3 sn A quotation from Isa 40:3-5. Though all the synoptic gospels use this citation from Isaiah, only Luke cites the material of vv. 5-6. His goal may well be to get to the declaration of v. 6, where all humanity (i.e., all nations) see God’s salvation (see also Luke 24:47).
