2:35Indeed, as a result of him the thoughts103 of many hearts will be revealed104—and a sword105 will pierce your own soul as well!”106
Footnotes
- 103 Or “reasonings” (in a hostile sense). See G. Schrenk, 2:97.
- 104 The remark the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed shows that how people respond to Jesus indicates where their hearts really are before God.
- 105 A sword refers to a very large, broad two-edged sword. The language is figurative, picturing great pain. Though it refers in part to the cross, it really includes the pain all of Jesus’ ministry will cause, including the next event in Luke 2:41–52 and extending to the opposition he faced throughout his ministry.
- 106 This remark looks to be parenthetical and addressed to Mary alone, not the nation. Many modern English translations transpose this to make it the final clause in Simeon’s utterance as above to make this clear.
