Kathy,
It seems that you feel the clause:
that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed
is somehow still referring in some way to Mary. But the statment to Mary is a "parenthetical aside" associated with the first two clauses, and has no bearing on this final clause.
Read without the parentheses, the thrust of the passage is entirely about Christ:
Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Compare Romans 2:16:
... in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
In Christ, Paul S
