Luke 1:36

1:36 “And look, ¹  your relative ²  Elizabeth has also become pregnant with ³  a son in her old age – although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth month! ⁴ 

Luke 1:58

1:58 Her ⁵  neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown ⁶  great mercy to her, and they rejoiced ⁷  with her.

Luke 2:44

2:44 but (because they assumed that he was in their group of travelers) ⁸  they went a day’s journey. Then ⁹  they began to look for him among their relatives and acquaintances. ¹⁰ 

[1:36]  ¹ tn Grk “behold.”

[1:36]  ² tn Some translations render the word συγγενίς (sungeni") as “cousin” (so Phillips) but the term is not necessarily this specific.

[1:36]  ³ tn Or “has conceived.”

[1:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.” Yet another note on Elizabeth’s loss of reproach also becomes a sign of the truth of the angel’s declaration.

[1:58]  ⁵ tn Grk “And her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[1:58]  ⁶ tn Grk “had magnified his mercy with her.”

[1:58]  ⁷ tn The verb συνέχαιρον (sunecairon) is an imperfect and could be translated as an ingressive force, “they began to rejoice.”

[2:44]  ⁹ sn An ancient journey like this would have involved a caravan of people who traveled together as a group for protection and fellowship.

[2:44]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[2:44]  ¹¹ tn Or “and friends.” See L&N 28.30 and 34.17.
