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 Martin, John A. “Luke.” The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures . Ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck.
