Luke 1:47

Context

1:47 and my spirit has begun to rejoice 1  in God my Savior,

Luke 1:71

Context

1:71 that we should be saved 2  from our enemies, 3 

and from the hand of all who hate us.

1 tn Or “rejoices.” The translation renders this aorist, which stands in contrast to the previous line’s present tense, as ingressive, which highlights Mary’s joyous reaction to the announcement. A comprehensive aorist is also possible here.

2 tn Grk “from long ago, salvation.”

3 sn The theme of being saved from our enemies is like the release Jesus preached in Luke 4:18-19. Luke’s narrative shows that one of the enemies in view is Satan and his cohorts, with the grip they have on humanity.
