strength and power.

the world, and the sun of justice.

to direct our feet into the way of peace.

deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

2:1. And it came to pass that in those days there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.
2:2. This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
2:3. And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.

into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he
was of the house and family of David.
2:5. To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
2:6. And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
2:7. And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him up in

for them in the inn.
Her firstborn... The meaning is, not that she had afterward any other
child; but it is a way of speech among the Hebrews, to call them also
the firstborn, who are the only children. See annotation Matt. 1. 25.

good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people:
