Luke 1:52-53
52 He has brought down the mighty ▼
▼tn Or “rulers.”
from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; ▼▼tn Or “those of humble position”
▼▼sn The contrast between the mighty and those of lowly position is fundamental for Luke. God cares for those that the powerful ignore (Luke 4:18-19).
53 he has filled the hungry with good things, ▼
▼sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.
and has sent the rich away empty. ▼▼sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).
