Berean Study Bible

For
The word "for" serves as a conjunction, linking Mary's personal experience with the broader narrative of God's redemptive work. It indicates a reason or cause, suggesting that what follows is a direct result of God's intervention. In the context of the Magnificat, this word connects Mary's praise to the actions of God, emphasizing that her response is rooted in divine initiative.

the Mighty One
This phrase refers to God, emphasizing His power and strength. The Greek word used here is "Dunatos," which conveys the idea of one who possesses strength and ability. In the Old Testament, God is often depicted as a warrior or a deliverer, showcasing His might in the deliverance of Israel. This title reflects God's sovereignty and His ability to accomplish His purposes, reinforcing the theme of divine intervention in human history.

has done
The verb "has done" is in the perfect tense, indicating a completed action with ongoing effects. This suggests that God's actions are not only historical but have lasting significance. The Greek word "poieō" implies creation or making, highlighting God's active role in bringing about His will. This underscores the idea that God's deeds are purposeful and transformative.

great things
The phrase "great things" points to the extraordinary and miraculous nature of God's works. The Greek word "megala" denotes something that is large in magnitude or importance. In the biblical narrative, God's "great things" often refer to acts of salvation and deliverance, such as the Exodus. For Mary, this includes the miraculous conception of Jesus, which is both a personal blessing and a pivotal event in salvation history.

for me
This personalizes the divine action, indicating that God's mighty deeds have a direct impact on Mary. The Greek phrase "moi" emphasizes the individual aspect of God's grace, showing that His actions are not just for the collective but also for the individual believer. This highlights the intimate relationship between God and His people, where His mighty works are experienced personally.

Holy
The word "Holy" describes God's nature, setting Him apart from all creation. The Greek word "hagios" signifies purity, sanctity, and separation from sin. In the biblical context, God's holiness is a central attribute, underscoring His moral perfection and otherness. This holiness is both awe-inspiring and comforting, as it assures believers of God's unchanging and righteous character.

is His name
The phrase "is His name" signifies the essence and identity of God. In Hebrew culture, a name is more than a label; it represents the character and reputation of a person. God's name, often revealed as Yahweh in the Old Testament, encapsulates His attributes and His covenant relationship with His people. Declaring His name as holy affirms His uniqueness and the reverence due to Him, inviting believers to trust in His faithful and powerful nature.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 49, 50. - For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. In this strophe, the second division of the hymn of praise, she glorifies three of the principal Divine attributes - God's power, his holiness, and his mercy. His power or might, alluding to the words of the angel (verse 85), "The power of the Highest shall overshadow thee." Surely in all the records of the Lord's works since the world's creation, his might had been never shown as it was now about to be manifest in her. His holiness had been displayed to her in the way in which the mighty acts of ineffable love had been carried out. His mercy: this attribute of God came home with intense power to the heart of the Jewish girl, into which God's protecting Spirit was shining with so clear a light. She saw something of the great redemption mystery which was then in so strange a way developing itself.
