NET Notes

¹tn See the note on the word “servant” in v. 38.

²tn Grk “for behold.”

³sn From now on is a favorite phrase of Luke’s, showing how God’s acts change things from this point on (5:10; 12:52; 22:18, 69; Acts 18:6).

⁴sn Mary is seen here as an example of an object of God’s grace (blessed) for all generations.
