Luke 1:50

Context

1:50 from 1  generation to generation he is merciful 2  to those who fear 3  him.

Luke 1:54-55

Context

1:54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering 4  his mercy, 5 

1:55 as he promised 6  to our ancestors, 7  to Abraham and to his descendants 8  forever.”

1 tn Grk “and from.” Here καί (kai) has been translated by a semicolon to improve the English style.

2 sn God’s mercy refers to his “loyal love” or “steadfast love,” expressed in faithful actions, as the rest of the psalm illustrates.

3 tn That is, “who revere.” This refers to those who show God a reverential respect for his sovereignty.

4 tn Or “because he remembered mercy,” understanding the infinitive as causal.

5 tn Or “his [God’s] loyal love.”

6 tn Grk “as he spoke.” Since this is a reference to the covenant to Abraham, ἐλάλησεν (elalhsen) can be translated in context “as he promised.” God keeps his word.

7 tn Grk “fathers.”

8 tn Grk “his seed” (an idiom for offspring or descendants).
