Luke 2:52

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

And Jesus advanced in wisdom; He grew up and [increased] in favor with God and the people.

See the chapter Copy

And the child [i.e., Jesus] grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom and God’s favor was upon Him.

For the person who serves Christ with these qualities is very pleasing to God and wins the approval of people.

So, the child [i.e., John] grew and became strong in [his] spirit and stayed in the desert until the day when he appeared publicly to the Israelites.
