3100. 'The man, wondering at her, remained silent' means a state of perception regarding those things. This is clear from the meaning of 'wondering but remaining silent' - when he saw that the things he had spoken in his heart were actually taking place - as a state of acknowledgement, yet at the same time of waiting to see whether it really was so. He 'wondered' because he acknowledged that things were happening as he had prayed, but he 'remained silent' because he was waiting to see whether it was in fact so. This is the state of perception that is meant.
