'''Jesus is the son of God.''' Around 7 BC, an angel told a virgin named Mary that she would give birth to a son, and call his name Jesus. On the night of his birth, angels announced his arrival to shepherds near Bethlehem. Shortly after that, an aged man named Simeon and a prophetess named Anna prophecied over the infant child Jesus. A brilliant star also appeared, and led wise men from the east to travel and worship Jesus. As a result of the wise men's story, King Herod had all the children in Bethlehem 2 years and under slaughtered. Joseph (who married the virgin Mary after the birth of Jesus) had been warned by an angel in a dream to leave Bethlehem and go to Egypt with Mary and the young child Jesus, and escaped Herod's slaughter. | '''Jesus is the son of God.'''
