Luke 1:57-58

Context
The Birth of John

1:57 Now the time came 1  for Elizabeth to have her baby, 2  and she gave birth to a son. 1:58 Her 3  neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown 4  great mercy to her, and they rejoiced 5  with her.

1 tn Grk “the time was fulfilled.”

2 tn The words “her baby” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity.

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

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

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