Luke 2:12
Next Verse

And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

Note 2 at Lk. 2:12: Signs were used throughout the Word of God to convince unbelievers of God's power (Ex. 4:8-9; Jn. 4:48; 20:30-31). The Greek word used for sign is "semeion" and is translated as "sign"- 51 times; "miracle" - 22 times; "token" - one time; and "wonder" - 3 times. Although God used signs to convince people many times, sign-seekers are rebuked (Exa. - Mt. 12:38-39; 16:1-4). There are lying signs and wonders (Dt. 13:1-3; 2 Th. 2:9). True believers in Jesus will have signs follow them (Mk. 16:17-18) and the preaching of God's Word (Mk. 16:20).
