(And this taxing was +first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be +taxed, every one into his own city. + +And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into +Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he +was of the house and lineage of David:) to be taxed with Mary, his +espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they +were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And +she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling +clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in +the inn. + +And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, +keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord +came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and +they were sore afraid: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, +behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all +people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, +which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall +find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And +suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host +praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth +peace, good will toward men. + +And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, +the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and +see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto +us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe +lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the +saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard +it, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But +Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the +shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that +they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. + +And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, +his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was +conceived in the womb.--Luke ii. + + + + +THE STAR IN THE EAST. + + +Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the +king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, +Where is he that born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the +east, and are come to worship him. + +When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all +Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and +scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should +be born. And they said unto him; In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is +written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem! in the land of Juda, are not +the least among the princes of Juda: for out of the shall come a +Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. + +Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them +diligently, what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, +and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have +found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. +When they had heard the king, they parted; and, lo, the star, which they +saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the +young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding +great joy.--Matthew ii, I-10. + + + + +THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. + + +And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to +Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his +mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: +for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. + +When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and +departed into Egypt: and was there until the death of Herod: that it +might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, +Out of Egypt have I called my son.--Matthew ii 13-15. + + + + +THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS. + + +Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding +wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, +and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to +the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. + +Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, +In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great +mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, +because they are not.--Matthew ii, 16-18. + + + + +JESUS QUESTIONING THE DOCTORS. + + +Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the +passover. + +And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the +custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they +returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his +mother, knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the +company, went a day's journey and they sought him among their kinsfolk +and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to +Jerusalem, seeking him. + +And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, +sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them +questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding +and answers. + +And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, +Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have +sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that, ye sought +me? wist ye not that I must be about my father's business? And they +understood not the saying which he spake unto them. + +And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto +them but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. + +And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. +Luke ii, 41-52. + + + + +JESUS HEALING THE SICK. + + +And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and +preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness +and all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout +all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with +divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, +and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy;--and he +healed them.--Matthew iv, 23--24. + + + + +SERMON ON THE MOUNT. + + +And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from +Decapolis and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. + +And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was +set, his disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth and taught +them. + +And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were +astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, +and not as the scribes. + +When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed +him.--Matthew iv, 25; v, 1-2, 28-29, viii, I. + + + + +CHRIST STILLING THE TEMPEST. + + +And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, +behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship +was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to +him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto +them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and +rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men +marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the +sea obey him?--Matthew viii, 23-27. + + + + +THE DUMB MAN POSSESSED. + + +As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a +devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the +multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. + +But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the +devils.--Matthew ix, 32-34 + + + + +CHRIST IN THE SYNAGOGUE. + + +And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he +departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught +them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, +Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the +carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren James, +and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with +us? Whence then hath this man all these things? + +And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not +without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. + +And he did not many mighty works there because of their +unbelief.--Matthew xiii, 53-58 + + + + +THE DISCIPLES PLUCKING CORN ON THE SABBATH. + + +And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath +day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. + +And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day +that which is not lawful? + +And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had +need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him? How he went +into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did +eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and +gave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath +was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man +is Lord also of the sabbath.--Mark ii, 23-28. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Dore Gallery of Bible +Illustrations, Volume 6, by Anonymous, Illustrated by Gustave Dore + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DORE BIBLE GALLERY, VOL. 6 *** + +***** This file should be named 8706.txt or 8706.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/8/7/0/8706/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
