‹ Section 12 Section 14 ›

place

where

there

were

robbers

who

had

plundered

several

men

of

their

baggage

and

clothes

,

and

had

bound

them

.

Then

the

robbers

heard

a

great

noise

,

like

the

noise

of

a

magnificent

king

going

out

of

his

city

with

his

army

,

and

his

chariots

and

his

drums

;

and

at

this

the

robbers

were

terrified

,

and

left

all

their

plunder

.

And

their

captives

rose

up

,

loosed

each

other’s

bonds

,

recovered

their

baggage

,

and

went

away

.

And

when

they

saw

Joseph

and

Mary

coming

up

to

the

place

,

they

said

to

them

:

Where

is

that

king

,

at

the

hearing

of

the

magnificent

sound

of

whose

approach

the

robbers

have

left

us

,

so

that

we

have

escaped

safe

?

Joseph

answered

them

:

He

will

come

behind

us

.
