Commentaries on Luke 1:74

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 74Being delivered, etc. - The salvation brought by Jesus Christ, consists in the following things: - We are to be delivered out of the hand of our enemies, and from all that hate us; so that sin shall neither have dominion over us, nor existence in us.

It is reviving; it…Read the comment

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).
