Luke 2:1-7 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. [2] This census first took place while _Quirinius_ was _governing_ Syria. [3] So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. [4] Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called _Bethlehem_, because he was of the house and lineage of David, [5] to be registered with Mary, his _betrothed_ wife, who was with child. [6] So it was, that while they were there, the days were _completed_ for her to be _delivered_. [7] And she brought forth her _firstborn_ Son, and wrapped Him in _swaddling_ cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

[31] And behold, you will _conceive_ in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. [32] He will be great, and will be called the Son of the _Highest_; and the Lord God will give Him the _throne_ of His _father_ David.

And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: [18] "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the _brokenhearted_, To proclaim liberty to the _captives_ And _recovery_ of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are _oppressed_; [19] To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." [20] Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the _attendant_ and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. [21] And He began to say to them, "Today this _Scripture_ is _fulfilled_ in your _hearing_."
Matthew 26:47-50 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great _multitude_ with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people. [48] Now His _betrayer_ had given them a sign, saying, "_Whomever_ I kiss, He is the One; seize Him." [49] _Immediately_ he went up to Jesus and said, "_Greetings_, Rabbi!" and kissed Him. [50] But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
Matthew 26:14-16 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests [15] and said, "What are you willing to give me if I _deliver_ Him to you?" And they _counted_ out to him thirty pieces of silver. [16] So from that time he sought _opportunity_ to betray Him.

[33] In His _humiliation_ His justice was taken away, And who will declare His _generation_? For His life is taken from the earth." [34] So the eunuch answered Philip and said, "I ask you, of whom does the _prophet_ say this, of himself or of some other man?" [35] Then Philip opened his mouth, and _beginning_ at this Scripture, _preached_ Jesus to him.

[58] This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate _commanded_ the body to be given to him. [59] When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, [60] and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone _against_ the door of the tomb, and _departed_.
Matthew 28:2-7 And behold, there was a great _earthquake_; for an angel of the Lord _descended_ from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. [3] His _countenance_ was like _lightning_, and his _clothing_ as white as snow. [4] And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. [5] But the angel _answered_ and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was _crucified_. [6] He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. [7] And go quickly and tell His _disciples_ that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."
