Question 9:
Jewish Law required that baby boys be taken to the Temple (or synagogue)
when only a few days old, so Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem when he
was still tiny. There they met two people who also knew how special this
baby was. Do you know who they were?

Anna and Michael
Simeon and Anna
Michael and Joanne
Joanne and Simeon

Question 6:
The grandparents are usually the first to come to the house or the hospital
after a birth, but this time the first visitors were the men who spent
nights out in the fields looking after sheep. They were told about the baby
by angels and came looking for him. Even though Joseph and Mary knew about
Jesus, they were delighted to hear that the angels had told someone else as
well.

Question 7:
Matthew chapter 2 says: 'Soon afterwards, some men who studied the stars
came from the east to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the baby born to be the
king of the Jews? We saw his star when it came up in the east, and we have
come to worship him."'

Question 8:
Herod was not very happy that a baby had been born who was to be King of the
Jews, because that was his job and he wanted his son to be King after him.
He was not a very good man and he killed lots of little boys hoping to kill
Jesus.

Question 9:
Simeon had prayed that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah, and
recognised Jesus immediately, while Anna was a old woman who was told who
Jesus was by the Holy Spirit the moment she came to the Temple.

Question 10:
We don't know how long the family stayed in Egypt, because the next thing we
learn about Jesus was when he was twelve, and they were visiting Jerusalem.
