Luke 01 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in 1:46-55, 68-79.
Special concepts in this chapter
"He will be called John"
It was unusual in the ancient Near East to use a name for a child that was not the name of a relative. Since Elizabeth and Zechariah did not have a person named "John" in their family, this name was very surprising to other people.
Important figures of speech in this chapter
Luke does not use a lot of complex wording. His language is simple and straightforward.
