And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.

And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

"It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested in its branches."

But the word of God grew and multiplied;

So mightily the word of the Lord continued to grow and to prevail.
