Lukas 1:36

1:36 “And look, ¹  your relative ²  Elizabeth has also become pregnant with ³  a son in her old age – although she was called barren, she is now in her sixth month! ⁴ 

Lukas 1:56-57

1:56 So ⁵  Mary stayed with Elizabeth ⁶  about three months ⁷  and then returned to her home.

The Birth of John

1:57 Now the time came ⁸  for Elizabeth to have her baby, ⁹  and she gave birth to a son.

[1:36]  ¹ tn Grk “behold.”

[1:36]  ² tn Some translations render the word συγγενίς (sungeni") as “cousin” (so Phillips) but the term is not necessarily this specific.

[1:36]  ³ tn Or “has conceived.”

[1:36]  ⁴ tn Grk “and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.” Yet another note on Elizabeth’s loss of reproach also becomes a sign of the truth of the angel’s declaration.

[1:56]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” Here (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion of the topic.

[1:56]  ⁶ tn Grk “her”; the referent (Elizabeth) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:56]  ⁷ sn As is typical with Luke the timing is approximate (about three months), not specific.

[1:57]  ⁸ tn Grk “the time was fulfilled.”

[1:57]  ⁹ tn The words “her baby” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity.
