‏ Luke 1:52-53

52 He has brought down the mighty ^{▼▼tn Or “rulers.”} from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; ^{▼▼tn Or “those of humble position”} ^{▼▼sn The contrast between the mighty and those of lowly position is fundamental for Luke. God cares for those that the powerful ignore (Luke 4:18-19).}
53 he has filled the hungry with good things, ^{▼▼sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.} and has sent the rich away empty. ^{▼▼sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).}
