Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 76. - And thou, child; literally, little child. Here the father breaks forth into an expression of gladness at the thought of the great part his baby-son was to bear in this great national deliverance. His son, too - oh, joy undreamed of! - is to be ranked among the glorious company of the prophets of the Highest.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(76) Thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest.--Note the recurrence of the same divine name that had appeared in Luke 1:32; Luke 1:35.Thou shalt go before the face of the Lord.--The verse is, as it were, an echo of two great prophecies, combining the "going before Jehovah" of Malachi 3:1, with the "preparing the way" of Isaiah 40:3.
