⁵¹And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

Luke 2:51World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The scene

Jesus returns to Nazareth with his parents and remains subject to them; his mother keeps these things in her heart.

To understand

His mother has described their anxious search. They do not understand his answer about his Father’s house. The account then records his growth in wisdom, stature and favor.

A question

What does Jesus’ mother do with the things that have happened?
