Luke 1:33

1:33 He ¹  will reign over the house of Jacob ²  forever, and his kingdom will never end.”

Luke 1:52-53

1:52 He has brought down the mighty ³  from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; ⁴ 

1:53 he has filled the hungry with good things, ⁵  and has sent the rich away empty. ⁶ 

[1:33]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. A new sentence is begun here in the translation because of the length of the sentence in Greek.

[1:33]  ² tn Or “over Israel.”

[1:52]  ³ tn Or “rulers.”

[1:52]  ⁴ tn Or “those of humble position”

[1:53]  ⁵ sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.

[1:53]  ⁶ sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).
