Chapter 20—Bible Teaching and Study

In childhood, youth, and adulthood, Jesus studied the Scriptures. As a little child He was taught daily at His mother’s knee from the scrolls of the prophets. In His youth the early morning and the evening twilight often found Him alone on the mountainside or among the trees of the forest, spending a quiet hour in prayer and the study of God’s Word. During His ministry His intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures testifies to His diligence in their study. And since He gained knowledge as we may gain it, His wonderful mental and spiritual power is a testimony to the value of the Bible as a means of education.TEd 111.1
