This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Tender mercy (splagchna eleous). Bowels of mercy literally (1Pe 3:8; Jam 3:11). Revised margin has it, hearts of mercy.
The dayspring from on high (anatolè„ ex hupsous). Literally, rising from on high, like the rising sun or stars (Isa 60:19). The word is used also of a sprouting plant or branch (Jer 23:5; Zec 6:12), but that does not suit here.
Shall visit (epeskepsetai), correct text, cf. Luk 1:68.
