And what more should I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, both Barak and Samson and Jephthah, both David and Samuel and the prophets:

And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and there did not fall one of his words to the ground.

So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
