<p class="bodytext">After some time<n id="1" /> his wife Elizabeth became pregnant,<n id="2" /> and for five months she kept herself in seclusion.<n id="3" /> She said,<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">And the child kept growing<n id="1" /> and becoming strong<n id="2" /> in spirit, and he was in the wilderness<n id="3" /> until the day he was revealed<n id="4" /> to Israel.p>

But<n id="1" /> when the feast was over,<n id="2" /> as they were returning home,<n id="3" /> the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His<n id="4" /> parents<n id="5" /> did not know it,

but (because they assumed that he was in their group of travelers)<n id="1" /> they went a day&#8217;s journey. Then<n id="2" /> they began to look for him among their relatives and acquaintances.<n id="3" />

After<n id="1" /> three days<n id="2" /> they found him in the temple courts,<n id="3" /> sitting among the teachers,<n id="4" /> listening to them and asking them questions.

where for forty days he endured temptations<n id="1" /> from the devil. He<n id="2" /> ate nothing<n id="3" /> during those days, and when they were completed,<n id="4" /> he was famished.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now when<n id="1" /> the days drew near<n id="2" /> for him to be taken up,<n id="3" /> Jesus<n id="4" /> set out resolutely<n id="5" /> to go to Jerusalem.<n id="6" />

After<n id="1" /> a few days,<n id="2" /> the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered<n id="3" /> his wealth<n id="4" /> with a wild lifestyle.

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to you saying, &#8216;I repent,&#8217; you must forgive<n id="1" /> him.&#8221;p>

People<n id="1" /> were eating,<n id="2" /> they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage &#8211; right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then<n id="3" /> the flood came and destroyed them all.<n id="4" />

Won&#8217;t<n id="1" /> God give justice to his chosen ones, who cry out<n id="2" /> to him day and night?<n id="3" /> Will he delay<n id="4" /> long to help them?

<p class="bodytext">So<n id="1" /> every day Jesus<n id="2" /> was teaching in the temple courts,<n id="3" /> but at night he went and stayed<n id="4" /> on the Mount of Olives.<n id="5" />

And now,<n id="1" /> because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time,<n id="2" /> you will be silent, unable to speak,<n id="3" /> until the day these things take place.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">The next morning<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> departed and went to a deserted place. Yet<n id="3" /> the crowds were seeking him, and they came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them.
