Elizabeth Remained in Seclusion

Elizabeth Remained in Seclusion

Excerpt
Most likely, this was because of the excitement of the surrounding people to her pregnancy (Lk. 1:25). Mary may have been the first person other than Zechariah and Elizabeth to know the news which the angel had delivered (Lk. 1:36).
Luke did not say in verse 25 if Elizabeth knew about the destiny of her son at this time. However, because she knew that his name was to be John (Lk. 1:60) even before Zechariah was able to speak, he probably communicated his entire vision in writing. Elizabeth was overjoyed that she was finally able to have a baby. More
