Matthew 2; Luke 2


Matthew 2; Luke 2

Overview

Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. An angel announced the Savior’s birth to shepherds near Bethlehem (see Luke 2:9–12). The shepherds “found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger” (Luke 2:16) and went away “glorifying and praising God” (Luke 2:20). Simeon, Anna, and Wise Men from the east were led to see and rejoice in their Savior. By revelation, Joseph was directed how to save the young child Jesus from Herod’s decree to kill the children in Bethlehem.
