Now That Wonderous, Living Story

The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,) *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached -- Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross. Acts 10:36-39

And confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been manifested in flesh, has been justified in [the] Spirit, has appeared to angels, has been preached among [the] nations, has been believed on in [the] world, has been received up in glory. 1 Timothy 3:16
