TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:66 the hand of the Lord: This anthropomorphism (describing God with human characteristics, cp. 1:51) meant that God was at work in John’s life.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἔθεντο πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες, ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν

put all the_‹ones› /having/_heard in the heart ˱of˲_them

Luke is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. Alternate translation: “all who heard these things stored them in their hearts”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔθεντο & ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν

put & in the heart ˱of˲_them

Luke is speaking of hearts as places where thoughts and memories can be stored safely. His expression describes people thinking things over carefully in order to understand them and retain them. Alternate translation: “thought carefully about these matters”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ἄρα τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο ἔσται?

what consequently the little_child this will_be

The people who said this were likely not asking a question, expecting someone to tell them what the child would become. Rather, they were making a statement about what the events of the child’s birth had led them to believe about his destiny. So you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “What a great man this child will become!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

χεὶρ Κυρίου ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ

/the/_hand ˱of˲_/the/_Lord was with him

In this expression, the hand represents strength and power. Alternate translation: “the Lord’s power was helping him”
