Luke 01 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations prefer to set apart long prayers or prophesies. For this reason, the ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 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.
