Now the child was growing and becoming-powerful in spirit and was in the wilderness until the day of his public showing to Israel. {Luk 2:1-20 Bethlehem 5 BC; no parallel.} {Augustus, a title, both the Latin form and Greek word ‘sebastos’ are in the Bible (G828, G4575), which are adjectives that means ‘worthy of worship. It is like our Reverend, His Majesty, Your Worship, etc.’ This ‘worthy of worship’ became worse as more and more Emperors took the throne. Nero being about the vilest of all and is referred to as the ‘Man of Sin’ in 2Th 2:3, the number of a man in Rev 13:18 (666).

In Acts 25:2, 5; 27:1 - Augustus here means simply ‘the Emperor’ and translated as such.}
