Luke 1:61 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

Ver. 61. There is none of thy kindred] There is an inbred desire in us all of immortality; we would eternize our names, and do therefore call our children, cities, lands, &c., after them, Psalms 49:11. But they do best that get assurance that their names are written in heaven. They that depart from God shall be written in the earth, Jeremiah 17:13, as Cain's son, Lord Enoch of Enoch, Genesis 4:17, and those men of renown, Genesis 6:4, were.
