Luke 2:21

2:21 At ¹  the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel ²  before he was conceived in the womb.

Luke 23:29

23:29 For this is certain: ³  The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’ ⁴ 

[2:21]  ¹ tn Grk “And when eight days were completed.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:21]  ² sn Jesus’ parents obeyed the angel as Zechariah and Elizabeth had (1:57-66). These events are taking place very much under God’s direction.

[23:29]  ³ tn Grk “For behold.”

[23:29]  ⁴ tn Grk “Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed!”
