And they said, -Is not this Joseph's son-- -23- And he said to them, -Doubtless

Luke 3-21-23---21- Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, -22- and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove- and a voice came from heaven, -You are my beloved Son- with you I am well pleased.---The Genealogy of Jesus Christ---23- Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son -as was supposed- of Joseph, the son of Heli, -ESV-

His parents did not know it, -44- but supposing-him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they-began to search for him among their relatives and-acquaintances, -45- and when they did not find him, they-returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. -46- After three days-they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers,-listening to them and asking them questions. -47- And all who-heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.--48- And when his parents saw him, they were

-67- And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy-Spirit and prophesied, saying,--68- -Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,-for he has visited and redeemed his people--69- and has raised up a horn of salvation for us-in the house of his servant David,--70- as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets-from of old,--71- that we should be saved from our enemies-and from the hand of all who hate us---72- to show the mercy promised to our fathers-and to remember his holy covenant,--73- the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to-grant us--74- that we, being delivered from the hand of our-enemies, might serve him without fear,--75- in holiness and righteousness before him all-our days.--76- And you, child, will be called the prophet of the-Most High- for you will go before the Lord to-prepare his ways,--77- to give knowledge of salvation to his people-in the forgiveness of their sins,--78- because of the tender mercy of our God,- whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high--79- to give light to those w

Luke 1-5-25 -5- In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest-named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. -6- And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. -7- But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.--8- Now while he was serving as priest before God when his-division was on duty, -9- according to the custom of the-priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord-and burn incense. -10- And the whole multitude of the people-were praying outside at the hour of incense. -11- And there-appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side-of the altar of incense. -12- And Zechariah was troubled when he-saw him, and fear fell upon him. -13- But the angel said to him,--Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and-your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his-na

Luke 1-1-4--1- Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a-narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, -2--just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and-ministers of the word have delivered them to us, -3- it seemed-good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time-past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent-Theophilus, -4- that you may have certainty concerning the things-you have been taught. -ESV-

-1- This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.--2- I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my-second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--3- since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. -4- For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. -5- Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail to meet the test- -6- I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test. -7- But we pray to God that you may not do wrong-not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed. -8- For we cannot do

-11- I have been a fool- You forced me to it, for I ought to have-been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these superapostles, even though I am nothing. -12- The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works. -13- For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you- Forgive me this wrong- -14- Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. -15- I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less- -16- But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit. -17- Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you- -18- I urged Titus to go, and sent the brother with him.Did Titus take advantage of you- Did we n

-1- I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained-by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. -2- I know a-man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven - whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.--3- And I know that this man was caught up into paradise - whether in-the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows - -4- and he-heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. -5- On-behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast,-except of my weaknesses - -6- though if I should wish to boast, I-would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth- but I refrain-from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or-hears from me. -7- So to keep me from becoming conceited because of-the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. -8- Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, t

2 Corinthians 11-1-6,- -1- I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me- -2- For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. -3- But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. -4- For f someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. -5- Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. -6- Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge- indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things. -ESV-
