Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(53) He hath filled the hungry.--It is interesting to note the manner in which the song of the Virgin anticipates the beatitudes of the Sermon on the Plain as reported by St. Luke (Luke 6:21). The words, like those of the beatitudes, have both their literal and their spiritual fulfilments. Both those who trusted in their earthly riches, and those who gloried in their fancied spiritual wealth, were sent empty away, while the "hungry," those who craved for a higher blessedness, were filled with the peace and righteousness which they sought.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekHe has filledἐνέπλησεν (eneplēsen)Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 1705: To fill up, satisfy.
