“And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.”

“Mark the Evangelist, like a hart, longing after the fountains of water, leaps forward over places, smooth and steep; and, as a bee laden with honey, he sips the tops of the flowers. Wherefore he hath shewn us in his narrative Jesus coming from Nazareth, saying, And it came to pass in those days, &c.”
