Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.

So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.

Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--

On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. "I give Thee fervent thanks," He exclaimed, "O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.

So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.

And they will dash thee to the ground and thy children within thee, and will not leave one stone upon another within thee; because thou hast not recognized the time of thy visitation."
