Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Then he took him in his arms and gave praise to God and said,
Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Then took he him up in his arms - What must the holy soul of this man have felt in this moment! O inestimable privilege! And yet ours need not be inferior: If a man love me, says Christ, he will keep my word; and I and the Father will come in unto him, and make our abode with him. And indeed even Christ in the arms could not avail a man, if he were not formed in his heart.
Blessed God - Thanked or praised God.
