Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 64. - And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. This, the first hour of his recovered power, was without doubt the occasion of his giving utterance to the inspired hymn (the Benedictus) which is recorded at length a few verses further on (verses 68-79). It. was the outcome, no doubt, of his silent communing with the Spirit during the long months of his affliction.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(64) His tongue loosed.--The verb is supplied by the translators because the one previously used applied strictly only to the mouth.He spake, and praised God.--Probably, in substance, if not in words, as in the hymn that follows. The insertion of the two verses that follow seems to imply that some interval of time passed before its actual utterance.
