Luke 2:52

James Moffatt - New Testament

And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favour with God and man.

See the chapter Copy

And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the favour of God was on him.

he who serves Christ on these lines, is acceptable to God and esteemed by men.

And the child grew, he became strong in the Spirit and remained in the desert till the day when he made his appearance before Israel.
