SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:39–45: Mary visited Elizabeth

Soon after the angel visited Mary in Galilee, she went to visit her relative Elizabeth. Elizabeth lived in a town in Judea. Mary probably traveled from three to five days to reach there. The Holy Spirit revealed to Elizabeth that Mary was carrying the Christ/Messiah in her womb. This was confirmed also by Elizabeth’s baby, John, who leaped for joy in her womb. Elizabeth declared that Mary was blessed more than all women because God had chosen her for such an honor.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Elizabeth affirmed that God had blessed Mary

Elizabeth recognized that Mary would be the mother of the Christ

1:39a

In those days Mary got ready and hurried

In those days: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as In those days means “at that time.” The word “days” is an idiom for a time period; it does not refer to specific days. After the angel left Mary, she was probably eager to see Elizabeth. She probably left as soon as she could prepare for the journey. Perhaps only a few days passed.

Some other ways to translate this are:

Soon afterward (GW)

A few days later (NLT)

A short time later (CEV)

Mary got ready and hurried: The Greek expression that the BSB translates as Mary got ready and hurried is literally “rising up, Mary went with haste.” Luke often used the verb “rising up” to describe beginning an action or preparing for it. Here it does not refer literally to standing up. Some ways to translate it in this context are:

Mary set out and hurried away (REB)

Mary prepared for a trip and hurried

In some languages it may not be necessary to translate this idea explicitly. For example:

Mary hurried to a town (CEV)

1:39b

to a town in the hill country of Judah,

to a town in the hill country of Judah: This town was where Elizabeth and Zechariah lived. Luke did not give the name of the town. The distance from Nazareth to that town in the hill country was between 100 and 150 kilometers (70–100 miles). Mary would have walked or traveled by donkey.

Judah: Judah was one of the provinces or districts that Rome ruled. It was one of the areas where Jews lived.

The word Judah occurs both here and in 1:65b, but it is spelled differently in Greek. Some English versions, including the BSB, show the difference in spelling and transliterate this word as “Judah” here and “Judea” in 1:65b. However, since both spellings refer to the same province, it is recommended that you spell it the same way in both places.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις

˓having˒_risen_up (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστᾶσα Δέ Μαριάμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἐπορεύθη εἰς τήν ὀρεινήν μετά σπουδῆς εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα)

This time reference sets the stage for a new episode in the story. Alternate translation: [Around that same time, Mary arose]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις

in ¬the days these

Here, Luke uses the term days to refer to a particular time. Alternate translation: [Around that same time]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστᾶσα

˓having˒_risen_up

This is an idiom that means not just that Mary stood up, but that she took action to get an enterprise under way. Alternate translation: [started out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν ὀρινὴν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀναστᾶσα Δέ Μαριάμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἐπορεύθη εἰς τήν ὀρεινήν μετά σπουδῆς εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα)

The hill country was an area of high hills extending south from the Jerusalem area to the Negev desert. Alternate translation: [the hilly area south of Jerusalem]
