For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth.

And all who had word of them kept them in their minds and said, What will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.

And after three days they came across him in the Temple, seated among the wise men, giving ear to their words and putting questions to them.

For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit.
