This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
all people - all the peoples, mankind at large.
a light to the Gentiles - then in thick darkness.
glory of thy people Israel - already Thine, and now, in the believing portion of it, to be so more gloriously than ever. It will be observed that this “swan-like song, bidding an eternal farewell to this terrestrial life” [Olshausen], takes a more comprehensive view of the kingdom of Christ than that of Zacharias, though the kingdom they sing of is one.
