1 tn Grk “Thus.” 2 tn Grk “in the days.” 3 tn Grk “has looked on me” (an idiom for taking favorable notice of someone). 4 sn Barrenness was often seen as a reproach or disgrace (Lev 20:20-21; Jer 22:30), but now at her late age (the exact age is never given in Luke’s account), God had miraculously removed it (see also Luke 1:7). 5 tn Grk “among men”; but the context clearly indicates a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") here. |
