in the thoseday links the present account with the preceding. it is likely that both the hill country and Judah refer the prophetic first instance of Jhon preparing the way for Jesus.　John’s prophetic role is evidenced even as an unborn child in hte womb. Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit explains the babe’s leaping.



この箇所は預言者ヨハネが胎内の中でも顕在していることを証明しています。そして同時にイエスキリストが宿り生まれることを祝っています。

追記：イエスは存在の美学でもあります。

皆様、良いクリスマス（生誕祭）を！ Have a Merry Christmas！
