Luke 1:36

1:36 “And look, ¹  your relative ²  Elizabeth has also become pregnant with ³  a son in her old age – although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth month! ⁴ 

Luke 1:58

1:58 Her ⁵  neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown ⁶  great mercy to her, and they rejoiced ⁷  with her.

¹ tn Grk “behold.”

² tn Some translations render the word συγγενίς (sungeni") as “cousin” (so Phillips) but the term is not necessarily this specific.

³ tn Or “has conceived.”

⁴ tn Grk “and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.” Yet another note on Elizabeth’s loss of reproach also becomes a sign of the truth of the angel’s declaration.

⁵ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁶ tn Grk “had magnified his mercy with her.”

⁷ tn The verb συνέχαιρον (sunecairon) is an imperfect and could be translated as an ingressive force, “they began to rejoice.”
