Psalms 119:11

119:11 In my heart I store up ¹  your words, ² 

so I might not sin against you.

Luke 2:19

2:19 But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean. ³ 

Luke 2:51

2:51 Then ⁴  he went down with them and came to Nazareth, ⁵  and was obedient ⁶  to them. But ⁷  his mother kept all these things ⁸  in her heart. ⁹ 

¹ tn Or “hide.”

² tn Heb “your word.” Some medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural, “your words.”

³ tn The term συμβάλλουσα (sumballousa) suggests more than remembering. She is trying to put things together here (Josephus, Ant. 2.5.3 [2.72]). The words “what they might mean” have been supplied in the translation to make this clear. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁵ map For location see Map1-D3; Map2-C2; Map3-D5; Map4-C1; Map5-G3.

⁶ tn Or “was submitting.”

⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast.

⁸ tn Or “all these words.”

⁹ sn On the phrase his mother kept all these things in her heart compare Luke 2:19.
