Contextual Overview

⁵⁷ When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth, she had a boy. ⁵⁸ Her neighbors and relatives heard how good the Lord was to her, and they rejoiced with her. ⁵⁹ When the baby was eight days old, they came to circumcise him. They wanted to name him Zechariah because this was his father's name, ⁶⁰ but his mother said, "No! He will be named John." ⁶¹ The people said to Elizabeth, "But no one in your family has this name." ⁶² Then they made signs to his father to find out what he would like to name him. ⁶³ Zechariah asked for a writing tablet and wrote, "His name is John," and everyone was surprised. ⁶⁴ Immediately Zechariah could talk again, and he began praising God. ⁶⁵ All their neighbors became alarmed, and in all the mountains of Judea people continued talking about all these things. ⁶⁶ The people who heard about them wondered, saying, "What will this child be?" because the Lord was with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all they that heard them,.... The above things, laid them up in their hearts; treasured them up in their memories, and often thought of them in their minds, what should be the meaning, and what would be the issue of them:

saying, what manner of child shall this be? what will he be, or come to? and what is it that he shall do? surely he must be designed in providence to be put into some high station, and some eminent work and service; since so many, and such great things, have gone before, and attended his birth:

and the hand of the Lord was with him; which may intend the special care, and peculiar providence of God in preserving his life, giving him health, causing him to grow strong and robust, and in stature of body, and in endowments of mind; and also the communications of grace unto him, and the gracious presence of God with him, so soon as he was capable of enjoying them; as likewise a spirit of prophecy, which is sometimes signified by the hand of the Lord; and the extraordinary gifts of the Spirit, which, in process of time, appeared in him, qualifying him for his high office and work: the hand of the Lord, with the Jews, is the Holy Ghost: thus they interpret 1 Chronicles 28:19 "all in writing", this is the "Masora"; "from the hand of the Lord", vdwqh xwr wz, "this is the Holy Ghost". w

w T. Hieros. Megilla, fol. 70. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

What manner of child ... - Such were the remarkable circumstances of his birth that they apprehended that he would be distinguished as a prophet, or that great events would result from his life.

The hand of the Lord was with him - The word “hand” is used to denote “aid, protection, favor.” We stretch out the hand to aid those whom we wish to help. The expression here means that God “aided” him, “protected” him, or showed him favor. Some think that these words are a part of the speech of the neighbors - “What manner of child shall this be? God is so evidently with him!”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 66. What manner of child shall this be! — As there have been so many extraordinary things in his conception and birth, surely God has designed him for some extraordinary purpose. These things they laid up in their heart, patiently waiting to see what God would work.

The hand of the Lord was with him. — God defended and prospered him in all things, and the prophetic spirit began to rest upon him.
