This week we ventured into Luke’s Gospel and translated through Mary’s Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55. As you’ll see, we noted that about 11 of the 12 verbs are aorists, with the only present-tense verb being the very first one, “my soul is magnifying the Lord.”

Why do you think all the other verbs are aorists? Comment below to help us out! Especially if you have any sources on it.
