This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
10. εὐαγγελίζομαι. See on Luk 1:19.

χαρὰν μεγάλην. See Isa 52:7; Isa 61:1; Rom 5:11; 1Pe 1:8. The contrast of the condition of despair and sorrow into which the heathen world had sunk and the joy of Christians even in the deepest adversity—as when we find “joy” to be the key-note of the letter written to Philippi by the suffering prisoner St Paul—is a striking comment on this promise. Even the pictures and epitaphs of the gloomy catacombs are full of joy and brightness.

ἥτις. The relative is emphatic—‘such that it shall be.’

παντὶ τῷ λαῷ. ‘To all the people’ sc. of Israel.
