Her neighbors and relatives In the cultural context of first-century Judea, community and family played a significant role in daily life. Neighbors and relatives were integral to social and religious events, often gathering to celebrate or mourn together. This reflects the communal nature of Jewish society, where family ties and neighborly relationships were highly valued. The presence of neighbors and relatives highlights the importance of Elizabeth's experience within her community. heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy and they rejoiced with her Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points God's Mercy in ActionElizabeth's account is a powerful reminder of God's mercy. Despite her barrenness, God intervened, showing that His plans often defy human limitations. Community Rejoicing The response of Elizabeth's neighbors and relatives teaches us the importance of sharing in each other's joys and sorrows, fostering a supportive and loving community. Fulfillment of God's Promises The birth of John the Baptist is a fulfillment of God's promise, encouraging believers to trust in God's timing and faithfulness. Witnessing God's Work The community's reaction to Elizabeth's blessing serves as a testimony to God's work, encouraging us to be observant and vocal about God's actions in our lives.(58) Her neighbours and her cousins.--Better, her kindred, as including a wider range of relations than that which comes within our definition of cousinship. The words imply that they had heard something of the vision in the Temple, and of what had been foretold of the future greatness of the child then born. Had shewed great mercy upon her.--Literally, had magnified His mercy. The verb is the same as that which opens the Magnificat, and may well be looked upon as a kind of echo of it. The phrase is essentially a Hebrew one. (Comp. 1Samuel 12:24.) Verse 58. - How the Lord had showed great mercy upon her. No doubt the vision of Zacharias in the temple, and his subsequent dumbness, had excited no little inquiry. That the reproach of Elisabeth should be taken away, no doubt few really believed. The birth of her son, however, set a seal upon the reality of the priest's vision. The rejoicings of her family were due to more than the birth of her boy. The story of the angel's message, coupled with the unnsual birth, set men thinking and asking what then would be the destiny of this child.
