Lucas 1:14

14 Tendrás gozo y alegría, y muchos se regocijarán por su nacimiento,

Lucas 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:14

And thou shalt have joy and gladness
Not only because of his having a son; but because this his son would be the prophet of the Highest; would go before the Lord, and prepare his ways; give knowledge of salvation to many, and light to them that were in darkness, and guide their feet in the way of peace: all which, and more, he afterwards expresses in his song, whereby this part of the angel's prediction had its accomplishment:

and many shall rejoice at his birth;
as the neighbours and cousins of his parents did; see ( Luke 1:58 ) and not only they, but all others, who, afterwards had knowledge of him as prophet, and as the forerunner of the Messiah.

Lucas 1:14 In-Context

12 Al verlo, Zacarías se asustó, y el temor se apoderó de él.

13 El ángel le dijo:—No tengas miedo, Zacarías, pues ha sido escuchada tu oración. Tu esposa Elisabet te dará un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Juan.

14 Tendrás gozo y alegría, y muchos se regocijarán por su nacimiento,

15 porque él será un gran hombre delante del Señor. Jamás tomará vino ni licor, y será lleno del Espíritu Santo aun desde su nacimiento.

16 Hará que muchos israelitas se vuelvan al Señor su Dios.
