Lucas 1:14

14 Y tendrás gozo y alegría, y muchos se gozarán de 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 Y se turbó Zacarías viéndo le, y cayó temor sobre él.

13 Mas el ángel le dijo: Zacarías, no temas; porque tu oración ha sido oída, y tu mujer Elisabet te parirá un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Juan.

14 Y tendrás gozo y alegría, y muchos se gozarán de su nacimiento.

15 Porque será grande delante de Dios, y no beberá vino ni sidra; y será lleno del Espíritu Santo, aun desde el seno de su madre.

16 Y á muchos de los hijos de Israel convertirá al Señor Dios de ellos.
