Luke 1:51

1:51 He has demonstrated power ¹  with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance ²  of their hearts.

Luke 11:15

11:15 But some of them said, “By the power of Beelzebul, ³  the ruler ⁴  of demons, he casts out demons.”

[1:51]  ¹ tn Or “shown strength,” “performed powerful deeds.” The verbs here switch to aorist tense through 1:55. This is how God will act in general for his people as they look to his ultimate deliverance.

[1:51]  ² tn Grk “in the imaginations of their hearts.” The psalm rebukes the arrogance of the proud, who think that power is their sovereign right. Here διανοίᾳ (dianoia) can be understood as a dative of sphere or reference/respect.

[11:15]  ³ tn Grk “By Beelzebul.”

[11:15]  ⁴ tn Or “prince.”
