NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

²sn The mention of glorifying and praising God is the second note of praise in this section; see Luke 2:13-14.

³tn Grk “just as [it] had been spoken to them.” This has been simplified in the English translation by making the prepositional phrase (“to them”) the subject of the passive verb.

³sn The closing remark just as they had been told notes a major theme of Luke 1-2 as he sought to reassure Theophilus: God does what he says he will do.
