(And this taxing was\nfirst made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be\ntaxed, every one into his own city.\n\nAnd Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into\nJudaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he\nwas of the house and lineage of David:) to be taxed with Mary, his\nespoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they\nwere there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And\nshe brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling\nclothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in\nthe inn.\n\nAnd there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,\nkeeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord\ncame upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and\nthey were sore afraid: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,\nbehold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all\npeople. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,\nwhich is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall\nfind the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And\nsuddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host\npraising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth\npeace, good will toward men.\n\nAnd it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven,\nthe shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and\nsee this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto\nus. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe\nlying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the\nsaying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard\nit, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But\nMary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the\nshepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that\nthey had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.\n\nAnd when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child,\nhis name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was\nconceived in the womb.--Luke ii.\n\n\n\n\nTHE STAR IN THE EAST.\n\n\nNow when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the\nking, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying,\nWhere is he that born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the\neast, and are come to worship him.\n\nWhen Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all\nJerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and\nscribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should\nbe born. And they said unto him; In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is\nwritten by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem! in the land of Juda, are not\nthe least among the princes of Juda: for out of the shall come a\nGovernor, that shall rule my people Israel.\n\nThen Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them\ndiligently, what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem,\nand said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have\nfound him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.\nWhen they had heard the king, they parted; and, lo, the star, which they\nsaw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the\nyoung child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding\ngreat joy.--Matthew ii, I-10.\n\n\n\n\nTHE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT.\n\n\nAnd when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to\nJoseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his\nmother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:\nfor Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.\n\nWhen he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and\ndeparted into Egypt: and was there until the death of Herod: that it\nmight be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,\nOut of Egypt have I called my son.--Matthew ii 13-15.\n\n\n\n\nTHE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS.\n\n\nThen Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding\nwroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem,\nand in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to\nthe time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.\n\nThen was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,\nIn Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great\nmourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,\nbecause they are not.--Matthew ii, 16-18.\n\n\n\n\nJESUS QUESTIONING THE DOCTORS.\n\n\nNow his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the\npassover.\n\nAnd when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the\ncustom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they\nreturned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his\nmother, knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the\ncompany, went a day's journey and they sought him among their kinsfolk\nand acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to\nJerusalem, seeking him.\n\nAnd it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple,\nsitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them\nquestions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding\nand answers.\n\nAnd when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him,\nSon, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have\nsought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that, ye sought\nme? wist ye not that I must be about my father's business? And they\nunderstood not the saying which he spake unto them.\n\nAnd he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto\nthem but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.\n\nAnd Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.\nLuke ii, 41-52.\n\n\n\n\nJESUS HEALING THE SICK.\n\n\nAnd Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and\npreaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness\nand all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout\nall Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with\ndivers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils,\nand those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy;--and he\nhealed them.--Matthew iv, 23--24.\n\n\n\n\nSERMON ON THE MOUNT.\n\n\nAnd there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from\nDecapolis and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.\n\nAnd seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was\nset, his disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth and taught\nthem.\n\nAnd it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were\nastonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority,\nand not as the scribes.\n\nWhen he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed\nhim.--Matthew iv, 25; v, 1-2, 28-29, viii, I.\n\n\n\n\nCHRIST STILLING THE TEMPEST.\n\n\nAnd when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And,\nbehold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship\nwas covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to\nhim, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto\nthem, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and\nrebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men\nmarveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the\nsea obey him?--Matthew viii, 23-27.\n\n\n\n\nTHE DUMB MAN POSSESSED.\n\n\nAs they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a\ndevil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the\nmultitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.\n\nBut the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the\ndevils.--Matthew ix, 32-34\n\n\n\n\nCHRIST IN THE SYNAGOGUE.\n\n\nAnd it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he\ndeparted thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught\nthem in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said,\nWhence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the\ncarpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren James,\nand Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with\nus? Whence then hath this man all these things?\n\nAnd they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not\nwithout honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.\n\nAnd he did not many mighty works there because of their\nunbelief.--Matthew xiii, 53-58\n\n\n\n\nTHE DISCIPLES PLUCKING CORN ON THE SABBATH.\n\n\nAnd it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath\nday; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.\n\nAnd the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day\nthat which is not lawful?\n\nAnd he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had\nneed, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him? How he went\ninto the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did\neat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and\ngave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath\nwas made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man\nis Lord also of the sabbath.--Mark ii, 23-28.","title":"The Dor\u00e9 Bible Gallery, Volume 6","tradition":"scripture-revelation","translated_text":null,"word_count":1789}
