Teaching the Teachers



liwaliw Pages this month features the seventh volume or seventh of a series from some of the multi-volume or series titles in my personal library. Volume 7 of The Bible Story by Arthur S. Maxwell is titled Wonderful Jesus (From Bethlehem to the Beginning of His Ministry). My copy is a reprint in the Philippines by the Philippine Publishing House, under special arrangement with Review and Herald Publishing Association in the United States.

Volume 7 consists of stories grouped into four parts, with the corresponding gospel references from the Bible:
  • Part 1, Stories of Jesus as a Baby, based from Matthew 1:1 to 2:21, Luke 1:1 to 2:40;
  • Part 2, Stories of Jesus' Boyhood, based from Luke 2:41 to 52; 
  • Part 3, Stories of Jesus' Ministry, based from Matthew 3:1 to 4:22, Mark 1:1 to 20, Luke 3:1 to 4:13, John 1:1 to 4:42; and
  • Part 4, Stories of Jesus' Miracles, based from Matthew 4:23 to 25, 8:5 to 34; Mark 1:21 to 2:12, 4:35 to 5:20; Luke 4:14 to 5:11, 7:1 to 17, 8:22 to 40; John 4:43 to 54
Page 78 falls in Part 2, contains the fourth story of six stories, "Teaching the Teachers," this illustration by William Hutchinson, caption reads "After the Passover services had come to an end Jesus slipped away from His parents and went to the Temple to reason with the rabbis. They marveled at His knowledge of the Scriptures."

The word September is derived from the Latin septem, which means "seven," because it used to be the seventh month of the ancient ten-month Roman calendar.
