His disciples didn't understand, but Mary had been told "a sword will pierce your heart, too." Luke 2: "34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.""

Well...

Who's gonna be the winner of THIS translation fight??

It seems so easy to slip a word in here and there to make it fit ones agenda doesn't it? The Greek word translates to soul, not heart.
