Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and

it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am

waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh,

saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, when I am old?

14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will

return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall

have a son.

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid.

And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh

they may not understand one another's speech.

face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city

Genesis

In those days a decree went out

from Emperor Augustus that all the

world should be registered. .. All

went to their own towns to be

registered. Joseph also went from

the town of Nazareth in Galilee to

Judea, to the city of David called

Bethlehem, because he was

descended from the house and

family of David

Luke

Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful

to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a

teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew

over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He

was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the

principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those

that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to

them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold

these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him.

And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at

this day.

Luke

In those days John the Baptist

came, preaching in the wilderness

of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for

the kingdom of heaven has come

near.” 3 This is he who was spoken

of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the

wilderness,

‘Prepare the way for the Lord,

make straight paths for him.’

Judea

Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles…

25 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On

the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at

the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint

from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the

world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27At

that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a

cloud with power and great glory. 28When these

things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your

heads, because your redemption is drawing nea

Luke

Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg

you, don't torture me!" 29For Jesus had commanded the evil[c]spirit

to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he

was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his

chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. 30Jesus

asked him, "What is your name?"

Luke

Indeed, it is easier for a camel to

pass through an eye of a needle

than for a rich man to enter the

kingdom of God."

Luke

Hypocrite, cast out first the beam

out of thine own eye, and then shalt

thou see clearly to pull out the mote

that is in thy brother's eye

Luke

Looking up at His disciples,

Jesus said: "Blessed are you

who are poor, for yours is

the kingdom of God.

Luke

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to

Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5"A farmer

went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some

fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air

ate it up. 6Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants

withered because they had no moisture. 7Other seed fell among

thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8Still other

seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred

times more than was sown."

When he said this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear,

let him hear."

• 9His disciples asked him what this parable meant. 10He said,

"The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been

given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

" 'though seeing, they may not see;

though hearing, they may not understand.'[a]

• 11"This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of

God. …

Luke

And there shall come forth a rod out

of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch

shall grow out of his roots:

11:2

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest

upon him, the spirit of wisdom and

understanding, the spirit of counsel

and might, the spirit of knowledge

and of the fear of the LORD

Isaiah

David, son of Abraham…..

in all from Abraham to David, fourteen

from David until the deportation to

Babylon, and fourteen from the deportation

until the Messiah

Mattew

Jesus the son, so it was thought, of Joseph,

the son of Heli, 24the son of Matthat,

the son of Levi, the son of Melk…

Luke

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be

also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat,

they drank, they married wives, they were given

in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into

the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them

all… It will be like that on the day when the Son

of Man is revealed

Luke

14Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news

about him spread through the whole countryside. 15He taught in

their synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16 He went to

Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he

went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to

read. 17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.

Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to release the oppressed,

19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."[e]

• 20Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat

down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on

him, 21and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is

fulfilled in your hearing

Luke

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord

in one place.

[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,

and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon

each of them.

[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other

tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

[5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation

under heaven.

[6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were

confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

[7] And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are

not all these which speak Galilaeans?

[8] And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

[9] Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in

Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

[10] Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene,

and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

[11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful

works of God

Acts

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against

powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual

wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to

withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the

breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all

the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the

word of God

Fear?

What should a man fear? It’s all chance,
