Berean Study Bible

But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart
But Mary
The verse begins with "But Mary," highlighting the central figure in this passage. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a pivotal character in the Gospel narratives. Her role is not only as the mother of the Messiah but also as a model of faith and obedience. The name "Mary" is derived from the Hebrew "Miryam," which can mean "beloved" or "bitter," reflecting the dual nature of her experience as both blessed and burdened by her unique role.

treasured up
The phrase "treasured up" comes from the Greek word "συνετήρει" (synetērei), which implies careful preservation and guarding of something valuable. This suggests that Mary did not merely remember these events but held them in high regard, recognizing their significance. In a historical context, this reflects the oral tradition of the time, where important events and teachings were memorized and passed down through generations.

all these things
"All these things" refers to the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, including the visit of the shepherds and the angelic announcement. This phrase indicates the comprehensive nature of Mary's reflection, encompassing the miraculous and the mundane. It underscores the importance of these events in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

pondering them
The word "pondering" is translated from the Greek "συμβάλλουσα" (symballousa), which means to bring together or to consider deeply. This suggests an active engagement with the events, as Mary seeks to understand their meaning and implications. It reflects a meditative and contemplative approach, characteristic of a heart seeking divine wisdom and insight.

in her heart
The phrase "in her heart" signifies the depth and sincerity of Mary's reflection. In biblical terms, the heart is often seen as the center of thought, emotion, and will. This indicates that Mary's contemplation was not superficial but deeply rooted in her innermost being. It highlights the personal and intimate nature of her relationship with God and her role in His plan.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) Mary kept all these things.--On the assumption that the whole narrative is traceable to the Virgin herself as its first author, these brief and simple touches as to her own feelings are of singular interest. She could not as yet understand all that had been said and done, but she received it in faith, and waited till it should be made clear. It was enough for her to know that her Child was, in some sense, the Son of God and the hope of Israel. The contrast between the simplicity and purity of St. Luke's narrative, and the fantastic and often prurient details of the Apocryphal Gospel of the Infancy is every way suggestive.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 19. - But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Such a note as this could only have been made by Mary herself. She knew her Child was in some mysterious sense the Son of God. A glorious being not of earth had told her that her Boy would be the Savior of Israel. The visit of the rough shepherds to her in the crowded caravanserai, and their strange but quiet and circumstantial story of the angel's visit to them, was only another link in the wondrous chain of events which was day by day influencing her young pure life. She could not as yet grasp it all, perhaps she never did in its mighty gracious fullness; but, as at the first, when Gabriel the angel spoke to her, so at each new phase of her life, she bowed herself in quiet trustful faith, and waited and thought, writing down, we dare to believe, the record of all that was passing, and this record, we think, she showed to Luke or Paul.
