AND THE LORD WAS WITH HIM:

Joseph, type of Christ.

The Lord was with Joseph, Genesis 39:2²And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (Genesis 39:2) (in Potiphar’s house.)

His master saw that the Lord was with him, v. 3.

But the Lord was with Joseph, v. 21 (in prison).

The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, v. 23.

Stephen, speaking of Joseph, “but God was with him,” Acts 7:9⁹And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, (Acts 7:9)

Samuel, And the Lord was with him, 1 Samuel 3:19¹⁹And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. (1 Samuel 3:19).

David, type of Christ.

One said of him, “And the Lord is with him,” 1 Samuel 16:18¹⁸Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him. (1 Samuel 16:18).

Because the Lord was with him, 1 Samuel 18:12¹²And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. (1 Samuel 18:12).

And the Lord was with him, v. 14.

Christ.

Nicodemus says, “For no man can do these miracles ... except God be with him,” John 3:2²The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. (John 3:2).

Peter says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth ... who went about doing good ... for God was with him.” Acts 10:38³⁸How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. (Acts 10:38).
