Commentaries on Luke 1:71
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 71That we should be saved (literally, a salvation) from our enemies - As Zacharias spoke by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the salvation which he mentions here must necessarily be understood in a spiritual sense. Satan, death, and sin are the enemies from whom Jesus came to deliver us. Sin is the most dangerous of all, and is properly the only enemy we have to fear. Satan is without us, and can have no power over us, but what he gets through sin. Death…Read the comment

From “these” the Messiah came to save us. Compare Genesis 3:15; Matthew 1:21. The hand - The power; or to save us from them.Read the comment

The gospel is discovering; it shows that about which we were utterly in the dark; it is to give light to those that sit in darkness, the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. It is reviving; it…Read the comment

But Jesus came to bring a deeper salvation. He saves people from sin, from Satan, and from death.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 68-7968-79. There is not a word in this noble burst of divine song about his own child; like Elisabeth losing sight entirely of self, in the glory of a Greater than both. Lord God of Israel--the ancient covenant God of the peculiar people. visited and redeemed--that is, in order to redeem: returned after long absence, and broken His long silence (see Mt 15:31).
