• He had been the Son of the Father before the world was; but this child, born on earth, should be called—such as He was down here—the Son of the Highest: a title to which He would thoroughly prove His right by His acts and by all that manifested what He was. (“Luke 1” by J.N. Darby)
• Verses 32 and 33 make it plain that He was far more than a mere Man. He was “great,” in a way that no other man ever was, being Son of the Highest; and He is destined to be the looked—for King over the house of Jacob, and take up a kingdom that abides forever. We observe that there is as yet no hint of anything outside those hopes as to the Messiah which could be based upon Old Testament prophecies. (“Luke 1” by F.B. Hole)
