Daily Bible Reading: Matthew 2, Luke 2: 39-52
Matthew 2:5-6 (NKJV) So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.' [Micah 5:12]"
Luke 2: 39-40 NKJV So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. The Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.[1]
2:39–40. Joseph and Mary then returned with Jesus to their home in Nazareth of Galilee, about 65 miles north of Jerusalem, where Jesus grew up. Luke omitted Jesus' sojourn in Egypt from his account (cf. Matt. 2:13–21) since it was not his purpose to show the early rejection of the Messiah. In Nazareth, He was first rejected after He publicly declared that He was the Messiah. The preparation for His ministry took place in that town as He continued to grow up. Luke noted that He became strong and was filled with wisdom (Sophia). His growth in wisdom was mentioned later (Luke 2:52). Luke also portrayed Jesus as the Source of wisdom for His followers (21:15). Jesus had the grace or favor (charis) of God … upon Him. Luke also reiterated that characteristic in 2:52. The wisdom and favor from God were evident before He reached the age of 12.[2] – Bible Knowledge Commentary
