"And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. "And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart." Luke 2:9-19.

Og de skyndte sig derhen og fandt Maria og Josef tillige med barnet, som lå i krybben. Da de havde set det, fortalte de, hvad der var blevet sagt til dem om dette barn. Og alle, som hørte det, undrede sig over det, som hyrderne sagde til dem. Men Maria gemte alle disse ord i sit hjerte og grundede over dem. Luk. 2,9-19.
