Luke 1:47

1:47 and my spirit has begun to rejoice ¹  in God my Savior,

Luke 10:21

10:21 On that same occasion ²  Jesus ³  rejoiced ⁴  in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise ⁵  you, Father, Lord ⁶  of heaven and earth, because ⁷  you have hidden these things from the wise ⁸  and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. ⁹ 

[1:47]  ¹ tn Or “rejoices.” The translation renders this aorist, which stands in contrast to the previous line’s present tense, as ingressive, which highlights Mary’s joyous reaction to the announcement. A comprehensive aorist is also possible here.

[10:21]  ² tn Grk “In that same hour” (L&N 67.1).

[10:21]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:21]  ⁴ sn Jesus rejoiced. The account of the mission in 10:1-24 ends with several remarks about joy.

[10:21]  ⁵ tn Or “thank.”

[10:21]  ⁶ sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

[10:21]  ⁷ tn Or “that.”

[10:21]  ⁸ sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.

[10:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “for (to do) thus was well pleasing before you,” BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.
