Luke Chapter 1, Verse 61
From BibleWiki
61: και ειπον προς αυτην οτι ουδεις εστιν εν τη συγγενεια σου ος καλειται τω ονοματι τουτω
61: And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is
called by this name.
61: And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called
by this name.
There is none of thy kindred, &c. The Jewish tribes and families were
kept distinct. To do this, and to avoid confusion in their genealogical
tables, they probably gave only those names which were found among their
ancestors. Another reason for this, common to all people, is the respect
which is felt for honoured parents and ancestors.
