Luke1:67
Filled with the Holy Ghost. See Lk 1:15.
And prophesied. The word prophesy means --
1st. To foretell future events.
2nd. To celebrate the praises of God (see 1Sam 10:5,6, 1Kgs 18:29); then to,
3rd. Teach or preach the gospel, &c. Rom 12:6. This song of Zacharias partakes of all. It is principally employed in the praises of god, but it also predicts the future character and preaching of John.
