The gospel of Luke is the only to discuss Elizabeth’s pregnancy. This pregnancy is paralleled to the ongoing of Sarah and Hagar’s pregnancies.
We talk about these connections. We offer Elizabeth’s response to Mary’s pregnancy as how the kingdom of God can and should operate. Patriarchy makes sisterhood like Elizabeth and Mary’s rare, but these two women redeem what Sarah lost.
