17 Now when they had seen Him, they made¹ widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.

18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 ^aBut Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and ^apraising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

Luke 2:20 >>

And pondered them in her heart - , Weighing them in her heart. Weighing is an English translation of our word pondering, from the Latin ponderare . Every circumstance relative to her son' s birth, Mary treasured up in her memory; and every new circumstance she weighed, or compared with those which had already taken place, in order to acquire the fullest information concerning the nature and mission of her son.
