Luke 1:42 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Elisabeth useth the same words to Mary which the angel had used for her, Luke 1:28; that is, thou art an exceedingly happy woman, not only renowned, but one whom God hath greatly favoured and exceedingly blessed and made happy. And blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Though the same word be used, yet it is not to be understood of the same degree of blessing. Christ was anointed with the oil of gladness above his fellows, and blessed in another sense and after another manner, than any creature can be said to be blessed, for the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in him bodily.

Luke 1:42

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
