Commentary on Luke 1:66

Theological / Devotional

What manner of child. Or, “What then will this child be?” (RSV).

Hand of the Lord. Here used figuratively of divine providence. In the NT this expression is peculiar to Luke (see Acts 11:21; 13:11), though it occurs commonly in the OT (Judges 2:15; 1 Kings 18:46, etc.). However, other NT writers use the expression “hand of God” (cf. 1 Peter 5:6; Rom. 10:21).
