“Why? Though he was not a Jew, he was acquainted with the Jews’ hope of a Messiah-king. He was shaken by the possibility that news of the promised King’s birth would arouse the people to such a high pitch of enthusiasm and support for the new King—whom most of them expected to be an earthly hero-king—that they would enthrone the Messiah as their rightful king, restoring David’s line. Then they would dethrone him and the Herodian line, the usurpers of David’s line.” (Page 35)
“Zechariah had heard God speaking certain words to him, but he doubted the welcome news those words brought. Now Zechariah would be able to do no speaking until the promised child was born.” (Page 7)
“‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.’” (Page 10)
“You who are highly favored’ means, according to the Greek, ‘one who has been shown grace,’ the undeserved favor of God.” (Page 8)
