Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 1:50

"And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him." — Luke 1:50 (ASV)

His mercy is on them that fear him.—The words, as read by those for whom St. Luke wrote, would seem almost to foreshadow the Gospel of the Apostle of the Gentiles. Those who “feared God” were to be found not only among the children of Abraham, but also among “every nation” (Acts 10:2; Acts 10:35), and He would show forth His mercy to all in whom that disposition would be found.
