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
where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
She entered Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
she went into Zechariah’s and Elizabeth’s home and greeted Elizabeth, saying, “Peace to you.”
where she entered the home of Zechariah: In this verse, Mary entered Zechariah’s house. Luke did not first say explicitly that Mary arrived in the town or at the house. In some languages, it may be necessary to make this information explicit. For example:
When she arrived at Zechariah’s home, she went in
to see Elizabeth. Having arrived, she entered Zechariah’s home
She arrived at the place where Elizabeth and Zechariah lived. Then she came in
You may include this information either at the end of 1:39b or at the beginning of 1:40. In the Display, this information is at the end of 1:39b.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

The implication is that Mary finished her journey before she went into Zechariah’s house. You can state this clearly. Alternate translation: [Once she arrived, she went inside]
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
