Luke 1:40

1:40 and entered Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.

Luke 1:69

1:69 For ¹  he has raised up ²  a horn of salvation ³  for us in the house of his servant David, ⁴ 

Luke 7:10

7:10 So ⁵  when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave ⁶  well.

Luke 10:5

10:5 Whenever ⁷  you enter a house, ⁸  first say, ‘May peace ⁹  be on this house!’

[1:69]  ¹ tn Grk “and,” but specifying the reason for the praise in the psalm.

[1:69]  ² sn The phrase raised up means for God to bring someone significant onto the scene of history.

[1:69]  ³ sn The horn of salvation is a figure that refers to the power of Messiah and his ability to protect, as the horn refers to what an animal uses to attack and defend (Ps 75:4-5, 10; 148:14; 2 Sam 22:3). Thus the meaning of the figure is “a powerful savior.”

[1:69]  ⁴ sn In the house of his servant David is a reference to Messiah’s Davidic descent. Zechariah is more interested in Jesus than his own son John at this point.

[7:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the summarization at the end of the account.

[7:10]  ² tc Most mss, especially later ones (A C [D] Θ Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï), have “the sick slave” here instead of “the slave.” This brings out the contrast of the healing more clearly, but this reading looks secondary both internally (scribes tended toward clarification) and externally (the shorter reading is well supported by a variety of witnesses: Ì⁷⁵ א B L W ˹ 579 700 892* 1241 2542 it co).

[10:5]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:5]  ² tn Grk “Into whatever house you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every house they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a house.”

[10:5]  ³ sn The statement ‘May peace be on this house!’ is really a benediction, asking for God’s blessing. The requested shalom (peace) is understood as coming from God.
