It describes how +God reverses the typical order of human society, humbling the proud and the +rulers and raising up the poor and humble. She recognizes that her role in +redemptive history will make her very famous and highly regarded, and yet she +gives all credit to the Lord her Savior. + +The Reformation Study Bible has a note that says Mary apparently did not stay +for the birth of John. I'm not certain I believe that, but there's also no real +way to tell from the text. Mary isn't mentioned in the next section, but the +focus of it isn't on her partof the narrative either. If Elizabeth was in her +sixth month of pregnancy when Mary arrived and she stayed "about" three months, +that "about" could be more or less. + +* * * + +Help us to fear you, O Lord, and have mercy on us.
