Luke Chapter 1, Verse 32
From BibleWiki
32: ουτος εσται μεγας και υιος υψιστου κληθησεται και δωσει αυτω κυριος ο θεος τον θρονον δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου
32: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
32: He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High.
And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and
he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
He shall be {f} great. There is undoubted reference in this passage
to Isa 9:6, Isa 9:7. By his being great is meant he shall
be distinguished or illustrious; great in power, in wisdom, in dominion,
on earth and in heaven.
Shall be {g} called. This is the same as to say he shall be the Son, &c. The Hebrews often used this form of speech. Mt 21:13.
The {h} Highest. God, who is infinitely exalted; called the Highest, because he is exalted over all his creatures on earth and in heaven. Mk 5:7.
The throne. The kingdom; or shall appoint him as the lineal successor of David in the kingdom.
His father David. David is called his father because Jesus was lineally descended from him. Mt 1:1. The promise to David was, that there should not fail a man to sit on his throne, or that his throne should be perpetual, and the promise was fulfilled by exalting Jesus to be a Prince and a Saviour, and the perpetual King of his people.
