<< Luke 1:47

Luke 1:48

The low estate (thn tapeinwsin). The bride of a carpenter and yet to be the mother of the Messiah. Literal sense here as in Luke 1:52.

Shall call me blessed (makariousin me). So-called Attic future of an old verb, to felicitate. Elisabeth had already given her a beatitude (makaria, Luke 1:45). Another occurs in Luke 11:27. But this is a very different thing from the worship of Mary (Mariolatry) by Roman Catholics. See my The Mother of Jesus: Her Problems and Her Glory.
