Albert Barnes Commentary Luke 1:71

"Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;" — Luke 1:71 (ASV)

Saved from our enemies. The enemies of man are his sins, his carnal propensities, his lusts, and the great adversary Satan and his angels, who continually seek to destroy him. From these the Messiah came to save us. (Matthew 1:21).

The hand. The power; or, to save us from them.

Leviticus 26:42; Psalms 105:8–10; Ezekiel 16:60.
