Commentary
Commentary on Luke 2:19
Theological / DevotionalKept. The force of the Greek denotes that Mary kept on keeping these things in her heart; that is, she kept these incidents vividly in her memory. However, unlike the shepherds, she did not go about telling all she met of the marvelous things that had happened.
Pondered them. Literally, “brought them together.” Mary meditated upon the various incidents connected with Christ’s birth, comparing each with the others the better to understand the import of all. She not only remembered vividly the words of Gabriel to her but compared them with the report of the shepherds.
