He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
All Commentaries on Luke 1:52 Go To Luke 1
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
The mighty in knowledge were the evil spirits, the Devil, the wise ones of the Gentiles, the Scribes and Pharisees; yet these He has put down, and raised up those who humbled themselves under the mighty hand of God; giving them the power of treading upon serpents and scorpions and every power of the enemy. The Jews were also at one time puffedup with power, but unbelief slew them, and the mean and lowly of the Gentiles have through faith climbed up to the highest summit.
