Lucas 1:41 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:41

And it came to pass that when Elisabeth heard the
salutation of Mary
Which might be before she saw her, and at some little distance from her:

the babe leaped in her womb:
which motion was not natural, but supernatural; being made at hearing the voice of Mary, who had now conceived the Messiah, whose forerunner this babe, John the Baptist, was to be; and who, by this motion, gave the first notice of his conception, which his mother Elisabeth took from hence; as he afterwards pointed him out by his finger, and by his baptism made him manifest to Israel:

and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost
not with the ordinary graces of the Spirit, for these she had been filled with before, but with extraordinary gifts, with a spirit of prophecy; by which she knew that the Messiah was conceived, and that Mary was the mother of her Lord; that many things had been told her; that she had believed them; and there would be a performance of them; and perhaps it was at this time that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost also; see ( Luke 1:15 ) .

Lucas 1:41 In-Context

39 Naqueles dias, Maria preparou-se e foi depressa para uma cidade da região montanhosa da Judeia,

40 onde entrou na casa de Zacarias e saudou Isabel.

41 Quando Isabel ouviu a saudação de Maria, o bebê agitou-se em seu ventre, e Isabel ficou cheia do Espírito Santo.

42 Em alta voz exclamou:“Bendita é vocêentre as mulheres,e bendito é o filhoque você dará à luz!

43 Mas por que sou tão agraciada, ao ponto de me visitar a mãe do meu Senhor?
