The Coming of Jesus

Matthew 1–3; Mark 1; Luke 1–3; John 1 · keyed to the ESV
4 partsabout 40 min each

Four parts open the New Testament with the people who came first. A priest is struck silent in the temple, a decree from Rome moves a family to Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old is lost for three days in Jerusalem, and a man in camel's hair stands in the Jordan and points past himself. Every part pairs the story with an English vocabulary and comprehension workbook and one Lokosmos Treasure Wisdom domain: temple service, the Roman census, pilgrim travel, and the lowest dry land on earth.
