What is it about?
Although many associate Luke 1:49b, καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, with Ps 111:9c because of assumed use of LXX Isaiah, it is equivalent to a line from Isa 57:15 in Hebrew manuscripts and non-Greek versions. This allusion reinforces the theme of God’s presence and care for the lowly in the Magnificat and more widely in Luke.
