Jesus

I am writing to you, dear Theophilus:

An orderly account of the things

that have taken place among us,

so that you may know the

absolute truth about everything.

In the days when Caesar Augustus

was emperor of Rome

and when Herod the great was king of Judea,

God sent the angel Gabriel to visit a

virgin girl in the city of Nazareth.

And the virgin's name was Mary.

Fear not Mary,

For you have found favor with God.

You will conceive and give birth to a Son

and you will call His name, Jesus.

How can this be? I am a virgin.

The Holy Spirit will come upon you.

For this reason the Holy Child

will be called

the Son of the Most High God.

His kingdom will never end.

So Mary traveled to a town in Judea

to visit her cousin Elizabeth who

was also miraculously with child.

Elizabeth.

Mary. Cousin Mary.

You are the most blessed of all women.

And blessed is the Child you will bear.

For as soon as I heard your greeting,

the baby within me jumped with joy.

My soul magnifies the Lord,

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

From now on, all generations

will call me blessed.

Know all men of Nazareth,

that by command of Caesar Augustus,

there will be conducted a census

of the subject territories

of Galilee and Judea.

All men must register forthwith

in the towns and cities

of their ancestral birth.

And Mary went to Bethlehem in Judea

to register with Joseph her betrothed.

But there was no room

for them in Bethlehem.

And the only lodging they

could find was a humble stable.

Now there were some shepherds in

that part of the country how were

taking care of their flock at night

when an angel of God appeared to them

and the glory of God

was shining around them.

This very day in David's town,

your Savior was born,

Christ the Lord.

The shepherds hurried to see the

newborn Babe in the manger,

and were the first to spread

the Good News or Gospel

of the virgin mother

and the Savior's birth.

A week later, when the time came

for the Baby to be circumcised,

He was given the name Jesus

and Joseph and Mary took the Child to

to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.

In the temple there was

a good and devout man

who the Holy Spirit had promised

would not die until he had seen

the Christ.

His name was Simeon.

Lord, now You can let me, Thy servant,

depart in peace according to Thy word.

For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.

This Child is chosen by God.

May you both be blessed.

And when they had completed all

their duties according to the law

of Moses, they left Jerusalem

and returned to Nazareth.

When Jesus was twelve years old,

Joseph and Mary took Him to

Jerusalem for the passover feast.

But, when they started back home,

thinking that the Boy was with them,

Jesus stayed behind.

They returned to the city looking for Him.

And on the third day found

Him in the temple

sitting with the rabbis and the elders.

Whose Child is this

who asks such questions?

He's from Nazareth.

We thought He had left with us.

Please, forgive Him His zeal.

All who heard Him were amazed.

Son. Why have You done this to us?

Your father and I have been

terribly worried trying to find you.

How is it that you looked for Me?

Did you not know that I must

be about My Father's business?

And He came with them to Nazareth

and increased in wisdom and stature

and in favor with God and with man.

The public life Of...

JESUS:

A documentary taken entirely

from the Gospel of Lule

In the fifteenth year of the rule

of the emperor Tiberius,

Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea,

and Herod, the ruler of Galilee,

and Annas and Caiaphas the high priests,

The word of God came to John in the desert,

and he came into all the country

near the Jordan river,

preaching the baptism of repentance

for the remission of sins.

Turn away from your sins.

And be baptized.

And God will forgive your sins.

As it is written in the

book of the prophet Isaiah:

Someone is shouting in the desert:

Get the road ready for the Lord.

Make a straight path for Him to travel.

Every valley must be filled up.

Every hill and mountain leveled off.

The winding roads must be made straight.

And the rough paths made smooth,

and all mankind will see God's salvation.

What shall we do?

You brood of vipers.

What do you want us to do?

Whoever has two shirts,

must give one to the man who has none.

And whoever has food must share it.

Teacher,

we are tax collectors.

What shall we do?

Don't collect more than is legal.

And what about us?

What are we to do?

Don't take money from anyone by force.

And don't accuse anyone falsely.

Be content with your pay.

Tell us. Are you the Christ?

I baptize you with water.

But Someone is coming who

is much greater than I am.

I'm not good enough even

to untie His sandals.

He will baptize you with

the Holy Spirit and fire.

He has His grain shovel with Him,

to thresh out all the grain and

gather the wheat into His barn.

And the Holy Spirit came down on

Jesus in bodily form like a dove.

And a voice from Heaven said:

You are My beloved Son,

in You I am well pleased."

When Jesus began His work,

He was about 30 years old.

He returned from the Jordan

river full of the Holy Spirit,

and was led by the Spirit into the desert,

where He was tempted by

the devil for 40 days.

In all this time, He ate nothing.

The devil said to Him:
