Part I

John the Baptist

The boy grew and became strong in spirit; He was in the wilderness until the
day of his appearance. The Word of God came to John, son of Zacharias in
the Wilderness. Birth Place of Jesus

Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judah, in the days of Herod the king; there came
Magi from the East to Jerusalem. They were saying, where is the King of the
Jews, who has been born? We have seen his star in the East. We have come to
worship him. When Herod the king heard, it he shuddered and all Jerusalem with

Then they said to him, who are you? That we may give an answer to those who
