SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
from King James (Authorized) Version

Genesis 35:19

       19   And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

Psalms 2:1-12

       1.   Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
      2   The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
      3   Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
      4   He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
      5   Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
      6   Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
      7.   I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
      8   Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
      9   Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
      10.   Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
      11   Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
      12   Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Psalms 18:19

       19   He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Isaiah 11:1

       1.   And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

Isaiah 53:1-12

       1.   Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
      2   For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
      3   He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
      4.   Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
      5   But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
      6   All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
      7   He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
      8   He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
      9   And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
      10.   Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
      11   He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
      12   Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Jeremiah 23:5

       5   Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

Jeremiah 31:15

       15   Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

Jeremiah 33:15

       15   In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

Hosea 11:1

       1.   When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Zechariah 3:8

       8.   Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

Zechariah 6:12

       12   And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

Matthew 2:13-23

       13.   And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
      14   When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
      15   And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
      16.   Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
      17   Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
      18   In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
      19.   But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
      20   Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
      21   And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
      22   But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
      23   And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

Luke 2:22

       22   And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

Luke 2:22-38

       22   And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
      23   (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
      24   And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
      25.   And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
      26   And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
      27   And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
      28   Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
      29   Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
      30   For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
      31   Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
      32   A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
      33   And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
      34   And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
      35   (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
      36   And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
      37   And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
      38   And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
