Contextual Overview

⁶⁷ Then Zechariah, John's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: ⁶⁸ "Let us praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to help his people and has given them freedom. ⁶⁹ He has given us a powerful Savior from the family of God's servant David. ⁷⁰ He said that he would do this through his holy prophets who lived long ago: ⁷¹ He promised he would save us from our enemies and from the power of all those who hate us. ⁷² He said he would give mercy to our ancestors and that he would remember his holy promise. ⁷³ God promised Abraham, our father, ⁷⁴ that he would save us from the power of our enemies so we could serve him without fear, ⁷⁵ being holy and good before God as long as we live. ⁷⁶ "Now you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High God. You will go before the Lord to prepare his way.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,.... With a spirit of prophecy, as his wife Elisabeth had been before, Luke 1:41

and prophesied saying; the following things, relating to the Messiah, his incarnation and redemption by him; to the accomplishing of the covenant, oath, promise and mercy of God to his people; and to his son, the forerunner of Christ; and to his work and office, in the various parts and branches of it, which he should perform. Whence it appears, that the following song is of divine inspiration; and that Zacharias spake it as he was moved by the Holy Ghost, as the prophets of old did.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Filled with the Holy Ghost - See Luke 1:15.

And prophesied - The word “prophesy” means:

1. To foretell future events.
2. To celebrate the praises of God (see 1 Samuel 10:5-6; 1 Kings 18:29); then to,
3. Teach or preach the gospel, etc. See the notes at Romans 12:6.

This song of Zechariah partakes of all. It is principally employed in the praises of God, but it also predicts the future character and preaching of John.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 67. Zacharias - prophesied — The word prophesy is to be taken here in its proper acceptation, for the predicting or foretelling future events. Zacharias speaks, not only of what God had already done, but also of what he was about to do, in order to save a lost world.
