The Bible, King James version, Book 42: Luke
Book 42 Luke 42:001:001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 42:001:002 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 42:001:003 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 42:001:004 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 42:001:005 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 42:001:006 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
know that."
"You may have to use two of them for years, may be. I heard the
doctor tell my mother so. I shall be up and about long before you
will. Now then!"
Both children were getting excited, for the various pleasures of the
day had been rather too much for them, and there is no knowing
but they would have added the sad surprise of a quarrel to the
pleasant ones of the day, if a cheerful whistle had not been heard,
as Ralph came in to light the candles and give the last artistic
touches to the room.
"Well, young folks, how goes it? Had a merry time so far?" he
asked, as he fixed the steps and ran up with a lighted match in his
hand.
"Very nice, thank you," answered a prim little voice from the dusk
below, for only the glow of the fire filled the room just then.
Jack said nothing, and two red sulky faces were hidden in the dark,
watching candle after candle sputter, brighten, and twinkle, till the
trembling shadows began to flit away like imps afraid of the light.
"Now he will see my face, and I know it is cross," thought Jill, as
Ralph went round the last circle, leaving another line of sparks
