I get so excited when I see how the second temple literature informs our reading of the NT. Every Christmas, it seems, I come across this passage in Luke concerning Mary and her “pondering these things in her heart” and now I can see that Luke uses this phrase to point out the significance of the vision just like in the examples you gave. I can’t wait to read your full article on this. I just wish you were able to post more videos more often! Thank you for your work!

This is important enough to merit careful listening (since the video contains no written captions or summaries). I think I gathered that Luke's mention of Mary "hiding these things in her heart" has parallels in second-temple, Jewish literature that deals with important persons who had knowledge or revelation about the spirit world, such that Mary understood Jesus' "paternity and other-worldly associations." Did I get it right?

Pretty much, there's more detail in the journal article if you're interested. Thanks for watching!
