Now when they had departed , behold , x an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said , “ Rise , take the child and his mother , and flee to Egypt , and remain there until I tell you , for Herod is about to search for the child , to destroy him . ” 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt 15 and remained there until the death of Herod . y This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet , z “ Out of Egypt I called my son . ” Herod Kills the Children Publication of any commentary or other Bible reference work produced for commercial sale that uses the English Standard Version must include written permission for use of the ESV text. The Bible is the authority on what is right and what is wrong. If you don’t take the time to study the Bible, you won’t know the difference between the two. Lines will become blurred and you will find yourself compromising God’s Truth. Graeme Goldsworthy ,Former Lecturer in Old Testament, Biblical Theology, and Hermeneutics, Moore Theological College Now h after Jesus was born in i Bethlehem of Judea j in the days of Herod the king , behold , wise men 1 from k the east came to Jerusalem , 2 saying , “ Where is he who has been born l king of the Jews ? For we saw m his star when it rose 2 and have come to n worship him . ” 3 When Herod the king heard this , he was troubled , and all Jerusalem with him ; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people , he inquired of them where o the Christ was to be born . 5 They told him , “ In Bethlehem of Judea , for so it is written by the prophet :

d “ Behold , I will send you e Elijah the prophet f before the great and awesome day of the L ord comes . 6 And he will g turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers , lest I come and h strike the land with a decree of utter destruction . ” 2 Matthew The Genealogy of Jesus Christ This ESV leather study Bible is perfect for determining the real meaning of a word that was translated into Scripture. Since most of us are not familiar with the original language, we are not able to determine how the word in the original text was used. This study Bible will help you see the differences between these words. g “ Your words have been hard against me , says the L ord . h But you say , ‘ How have we spoken against you ? ’ 14 You have said , i ‘ It is vain to serve God . j What is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the L ord of hosts ? 15 And now we call k the arrogant blessed . k Evildoers not only prosper but l they put God to the test and they escape . ’ ” The Book of Remembrancek Then Jesus came l from Galilee to the Jordan to John , to be baptized by him . 14 m John would have prevented him , saying , “ I need to be baptized by you , and do you come to me ? ” 15 But Jesus answered him , “ Let it be so now , for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness . ” Then he consented . 16 And when Jesus was baptized , immediately he went up from the water , and behold , o the heavens were opened to him , 3 and he p saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him ; 17 and behold , q a voice from heaven said , r “ This is my beloved Son , 4 with whom I am well pleased . ”

The scope and theological faithfulness of theESV Study Bible study notes is breathtaking.”—John Piper A study Bible differs from a regular Bible. Study Bibles contain a commentary that helps you research Bible verses as you read them. Theyalso feature an introduction to each book of the Bible so you can get a better understanding of who wrote the book and what time it took place. But when he saw many of s the Pharisees and t Sadducees coming to his baptism , he said to them , u “ You brood of v vipers ! Who warned you to flee from w the wrath to come ? 8 Bear fruit x in keeping with repentance . 9 And do not presume to say to yourselves , y ‘ We have Abraham as our father , ’ for I tell you , God is able from z these stones to raise up children for Abraham . 10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees . a Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire . All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”– 2 Timothy 3:16 NIV

Almost all study Bibles are what is known as "application" Bibles, meaning they feature commentary,character studies, maps, charts, and detailed book introductions designed to help readers apply biblical principles in practical ways. Other Bibles serve as "quest" studies, which are meant to assist readers in their search to find answers to some of life's most pressing questions. The English Standard Version (ESV) stands in the classic mainstream of English Bible translations over the past half-millennium. The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale's New Testament of 1526; marking its course were the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV). In that stream, faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of accuracy were combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression. Our goal has been to carry forward this legacy for a new century. The CSB (Christian Standard Bible) Ancient Faith Study Bible was published in September 2019 and already ranks among the winners of the Bible category in the Christian Book of the Year Awards by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA). This study Bible is designed to give readers insight into their rich biblical heritage through study notes and commentary taken from the writings of famous early church fathers. These spiritual giants of the second through fifth centuries include Irenaeus of Lyons, Origen, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo, Athanasius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, and many more.In 2019, this top-selling, award-winning study Bible was updated and expanded in its third edition with fresh and relevant insights. The concept behind the Compass Bible is just as the title implies. It was designed to help people connect with God by pointing them in the right direction and revealing how they fit into God's story. Compass is written in what is known as the Voice translation, a mix of "word-for-word" and "thought-for-thought" translation approaches. Especially enjoyable is its translation of Revelation, one of the Bible's most difficult books to understand. Being equipped to stand for God takes discipline. We can’t get to know someone if we don’t put the time into knowing them.
