2:21 At 6 the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel 7 before he was conceived in the womb.
1 tn Grk “And behold.”
2 tn Grk “you will conceive in your womb.”
3 tn Or “and bear.”
4 tn Grk “you will call his name.”
5 tn See v. 13 for a similar construction.
6 tn Grk “And when eight days were completed.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
7 sn Jesus’ parents obeyed the angel as Zechariah and Elizabeth had (1:57-66). These events are taking place very much under God’s direction.
