Prologue
Birth, childhood &
family of Jesus
Jesus was a descendant of Abraham. 2Jesus parents
were named Joseph and Mary. 3Jesus was born when
Herod was king. 4Eight days later, when the time
came to circumcise him, they gave him the name
Jesus. 5Many in Jesus hometown asked, This is the
carpenter, isnt it? 6lsnt he the son of Mary? 7Arent his
brothers James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And arent
his sisters our neighbors? 8Phillip tells Nathanael,
We have found Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth.
9
From Nazareth? Nathanael said to him. Can
anything good come from that place? 10Then he
goes home, and once again a crowd gathers, so they
couldnt even have a meal. 11When his relatives heard
about it, they came to take him away. (You see, they
thought he was out of his mind.) 12Jesus family took
offense at him. 13On his visit to Jerusalem, Paul says,
I did not meet any of the Anointeds other envoys
except James, our lords brother. 14James, Cephas and
John were the reputed pillars of the movement in
Jerusalem. 15The risen Jesus was seen by James.
