Luke 1:54 ANTELABETO ISRAHL PAIDOS AUTOU, MNHSQHNAI ELEOUS

Dear BGreekers,

Please help me understand why this is not translated “He has helped His
servant child Israel to remember mercy.”  Other than the comma, which we all
know was added much later, I do not understand why most have translated as
the ESV “He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,.”

I understand that
ANTELABETO is a Third Person, Singular, Aorist, Middle, Indicative &
MNHSQHNAI is an Aorist, Passive, Infinitive.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sola Gratia
Jay Adkins
