As in 1:12, Luke here describes fear as if it were something that could actively come upon people. Alternate translation: [all those who lived around them were in awe]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

In this context, fear does not mean to be afraid, but to have respect and reverence. Alternate translation: [all those who lived around them were in awe]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πάντας φόβος

became on all fear

It may be helpful to state clearly why the people responded in this way. Alternate translation: [all those who lived around them were in awe of God because of what he had done in the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντας & τοὺς περιοικοῦντας αὐτούς & ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ὀρεινῇ

Here Luke uses the word all twice as an generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: [the people who lived around them … widely throughout that area]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
