Lukas 1:27

1:27 to a virgin engaged ¹  to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, ²  and the virgin’s name was Mary.

Lukas 4:26

4:26 Yet ³  Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. ⁴ 

[1:27]  ¹ tn Or “promised in marriage.”

[1:27]  ² tn Grk “Joseph, of the house of David.”

[1:27]  sn The Greek word order here favors connecting Davidic descent to Joseph, not Mary, in this remark.

[4:26]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast.

[4:26]  ⁴ sn Zarephath in Sidon was Gentile territory (see 1 Kgs 17:9-24). Jesus’ point was that he would be forced to minister elsewhere, and the implication is that this ministry would ultimately extend (through the work of his followers) to those outside the nation.
