Luke 1:43 - Adam Clarke

Luke 1:43

41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was ^afilled with the Holy Spirit.

42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, ^a“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 ^aBlessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”
