Contextual Overview
5 In the time of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, of the family of Abia, whose wife; nam'd Elizabeth, was of the race of Aaron: 6 they were both of them sincerely pious; observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord; with unspotted reputation. 7 they had no children, because Elizabeth was steril, and they were both advanced in years. 8 now Zachary was to officiate in divine service, in the order of his family, 9 and according to the custom of distributing the parts, it fell to his lot to burn incense in the sanctuary. 10 and all the congregation of the people stood praying without, at the time of offering incense, 11 when there appear'd to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the incense-altar. 12 Zacharias startled at the sight and was seized with fear. 13 but the angel said to Zacharias, don't be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard: and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, whom you shall name John: 14 he shall be your joy and transport, and numbers shall rejoice at his birth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shalt have joy and gladness,.... Not only because of his having a son; but because this his son would be the prophet of the Highest; would go before the Lord, and prepare his ways; give knowledge of salvation to many, and light to them that were in darkness, and guide their feet in the way of peace: all which, and more, he afterwards expresses in his song, whereby this part of the angel's prediction had its accomplishment:
and many shall rejoice at his birth; as the neighbours and cousins of his parents did; see Luke 1:58 and not only they, but all others, who, afterwards had knowledge of him as prophet, and as the forerunner of the Messiah.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Many shall rejoice at his birth - This does not refer so much to the time of his birth as to the subsequent rejoicing. Such will be his “character,” that he will be an honor to the family, and many will rejoice that he lived: or, in other words, he will be a blessing to mankind.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 1:14. Thou shalt have joy, c.] εσται χαρα σοι, He will be joy and gladness to thee. A child of prayer and faith is likely to be a source of comfort to his parents. Were proper attention paid to this point, there would be fewer disobedient children in the world and the number of broken-hearted parents would be lessened. But what can be expected from the majority of matrimonial connections, connections begun without the fear of God, and carried on without his love.
Many shall rejoice at his birth. — He shall be the minister of God for good to multitudes, who shall, through his preaching, be turned from the error of their ways, and converted to God their Saviour.
