Wonder

Luke 2: 16And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; 18and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. 21And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Beginning

John 1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God; 3all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. 8He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. 9The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. 11He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. 12But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. 15(John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'") 16And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

Nazarene

13Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."  14And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt,  15and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."  19But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,  20"Rise, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."  21And he rose and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.  22But when he heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.  23And he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

Simeon

Luke 2:
22And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord")  24and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."  25Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  26And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  27And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,  28he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; 30for mine eyes have seen thy salvation 31which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to thy people Israel." 33And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him;  34and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against 35(and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."

Egypt

Matthew 2:
13Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."  14And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt,  15and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."  16Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.  17Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:  18"A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more."

Resurrection

John 20:
1Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.  2So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him."  3Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.  4They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;  5and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.  6Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,  7and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.  8Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;

Endure

Matthew 10:
17Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues,  18and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles.  19When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;  20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.  21Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;  22and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
