Luke 1:71

Verse 71. That he would save us, and so forth Lit. salvation from our enemies. The construction and sense is, that God, as he had declared by his prophets, would grant us salvation, or would save us. Witham.—This is not to be understood of temporal, but of spiritual enemies. For the Lord Jesus, strong in battle, came to destroy all our enemies, and thus to deliver us from their snares and temptations. Origen, hom. xvi.—He is that King of Glory, the Lord strong and powerful, the Lord powerful in battle. Psalms 23.
