Church Fathers Commentary Luke 1:71

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

The Venerable Bede: After first briefly saying, He has raised up a horn of salvation to us, he goes on to explain his words, adding, of salvation from our enemies. It is as if he said: He has raised up a horn to us, that is, He has raised up to us salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.

Origen of Alexandria: Let us not suppose that this refers to our physical enemies, but to our spiritual ones. For the Lord Jesus came, mighty in battle, to destroy all our enemies, so that He might deliver us from their snares and temptations.
