Compare all
49 For He who is mighty ahas done great things for me,
And bholy is His name. 
50 And aHis mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation. 
51 aHe has shown strength with His arm;
bHe has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 
52 aHe has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly. 
53 He has afilled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty. 
54 He has helped His aservant Israel,
bIn remembrance of His mercy, 
55 aAs He spoke to our bfathers,
To Abraham and to his cseed forever.”  
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.

Birth of John the Baptist

57 Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son.
58 When her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they arejoiced with her.  

Circumcision of John the Baptist

59 So it was, aon the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.  
60 His mother answered and said, a“No; he shall be called John.”  
61 But they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 So they made signs to his father—what he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, “His name is John.” So they all marveled.
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.
65 Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea.

Luke 1:46-55

Luke 1:46-55 Mary said. Mary also is filled with the spirit of prophecy. These two godly women are the first human prophets of the New Testament. Mary's language is in part drawn from the Psalms. This hymn is divisible into three parts: (1) recognition of God's strange grace upon her own humble person and character (Luke 1:46-49); (2) a recognition that it is ever thus that God exalts the humble, and brings low the proud (Luke 1:50-53); (3) the result is that humble Israel is now to be exalted according to God's promise to Abraham (Luke 1:54).
