All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
And, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
While Mary treasured up all that they said, and dwelt upon it in her thoughts.
While the child's father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
And they were all lost in amazement, and kept saying to one another: "What words are these? For he gives his commands to the foul spirits with a marvelous authority, and they come out."
