Note 3 at Lu 1:43: The Greek word used here for "Lord" is "KURIOS" and usually refers to Jehovah God. In context, this word is used sixteen other times in this chapter, and in each case it clearly refers to God. There is no doubt that Elizabeth, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, was referring to Jesus as Lord in the highest sense of the word. This is another witness to the divinity of Jesus (see note 1 at Joh 1:1).
