    6. Isaiah predicted that he would be born of a virgin ( Isaiah 7:14 ; Matthew 1:18-25 ), the greatness of his kingdom ( Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 9:7 ; Luke 1:32 Luke 1:33 ), his humiliation and sufferings ( Isaiah 53:1-10 ; Acts 8:30-33 ), and his proclamation of the acceptable year of the Lord ( Isaiah 51:14 ; Luke 4:14-21 );
    7. the prediction of his birth place ( Micah 5:2 ; Matthew 2:6 );
    8. the prediction of his betrayal ( Zechariah 11:10-14 ; Matthew 27:3-10 ).

  4. Early Life. On account of the decree of Herod, Joseph took the young child and his mother and fled into Egypt, where they remained until Archelaus succeeded his father, after which they returned to Nazareth and resided there ( Matthew 2:1-23 ). Nothing is recorded of Him until He was twelve years old, when he was able to confound the doctors of the law by His wisdom ( Luke 2:40-51 ). Joseph was a carpenter, and Jesus learned the trade and followed it in the city of Nazareth ( Matthew 13:55 ; Mark 6:3 ; Luke 2:39 ).

  5. His Baptism. Jesus came from Nazareth to Jordan and was baptized by John, and as he came up out of the water, His Father acknowledged Him, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him ( Matthew 3:13-17 ).
