And
it came to pass
in
those
days,
a decree
went out from
Caesar
Augustus
to register
all
the
world.
2
This
registration
first
took place
when
Quirinius
was governing
Syria.
3
And
all
were going
to be registered,
each
to
his own
city.
4
And
Joseph
also
went up
from
Galilee
out of
the
town
of Nazareth,
to Judea, to
the
City
of David,
which
is called
Bethlehem,
because of
his being of
the
house
and
family
of David,
5
to register
with
Mary
the
one
being betrothed
to him, she being
with
child.
6
And it came to pass,
in
their be
in
g
there,
the
days
of her
giv
in
g birth
were fulfilled.
7
And
she brought forth
her
firstborn
son,
and
she wrapped Him in swaddling cloths
and
laid
Him in
a manger,
because
there was
no
place
for them in the
inn.
8
And there were
shepherds
in the
same
region,
lodging in the fields
and
keeping
watch
over
their
flock
by night.
9
And
an angel
of
the
Lord
stood by
them, and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
shone around
them, and
they feared
with
great
fear.
10
And
the
angel
said to
the
m, Fear not, for
behold,
I bring good news
to you
of
great
joy,
which
will be
to all
the
people.
11
For
today
in
the
City
of David
a Savior
has been born
to you,
who
is
Christ
the
Lord.
12
And
this
is
the
sign
to you:
You will find
a baby
wrapped in swaddling cloths,
and
lying
in a manger.
13
And
suddenly
there came
with the
angel
a multitude
of
the
heavenly
host,
praising
God
and
saying:
14
Glory
to God
in
the
highest, and on
earth
peace
among
men
with whom He is pleased!
15
And it came to pass,
as
the
angels
were departing
from them into the heaven, the
shepherds
were saying
to one another, Let us go through
indeed
as
far
as
Bethlehem, and
let us see
this
word
that has come to pass,
which
the
Lord
has made known
to us.
16
And
having hurried,
they came
and
found
both
Mary
and
Joseph,
and the
baby,
lying
in the
manger.
17
And
having seen,
they proclaimed abroad
concerning
the
saying
having been told
them
concerning
this
Child.
18
And
all
those
having heard
marveled
concerning the things
having been spoken
to them by the
shepherds.
19
But
Mary
was treasuring up
all
these
matters,
pondering
them
in her
heart.
20
And the
shepherds
returned,
glorifying
and
praising
God
for
all things
which
they had heard
and seen,
as
it was said
to them.
21
And
when
eight
days
to circumcise
Him were fulfilled, then His
name
was called
Jesus, which
He had been called
by the
angel
before
He
was conceived
in the
womb.
22
And
when
the
days
of their
purification
were fulfilled
according to
the
Law
of Moses,
they brought
Him to
Jerusalem
to present
to the
Lord
23
(as
it has been written
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord:
Every male
opening
a womb
shall be called
holy
to the Lord),
24
and
to offer
a sacrifice,
according to
that having been said in the
Law
of
the
Lord, A pair
of turtle doves
or
two
young pigeons.
25
And
behold, there was
a
man
in
Jerusalem
whose
name
was
Simeon.
And
this
man
was
righteous and
devout,
wait
in
g for
the
consolation
of Israel;
and
the
Holy
Spirit
was upon him.
26
And
it was
divinely revealed
to him by
the
Holy
Spirit
not
to see
death
before
that
he should see
the
Lords Christ.
27
And he came
in
the
Spirit
into
the temple. And
in
the
time when
the parents
were bringing
in
the
child
Jesus, the
thing
they
were doing
for Him according to that
having become customary
by the Law,
28
then
he
received
Him into the arms, and
blessed
God, and said:
29
Now Lord,
You dismiss
Your
servant
in peace,
according to
Your
word.
30
For my
eyes
have seen
Your salvation,
31
which
You have prepared
before
the
face
of all
the peoples,
32
a light
for
revelation
of
the
Gentiles,
and
glory
of Your
people
Israel.
33
And His
father
and
mother
were
marveling
at the things
having been spoken
concerning
Him.
34
And
Simeon
blessed
them and said to His
mother
Mary:
Behold,
this
Child
is appo
in
ted
for
the
fall
in
g
and
ris
in
g up
of many
in
Israel,
and for
a sign
spoken aga
in
st
35
and
a sword
also
will go through
your
own
soul
so that
the
thoughts
of
many
hearts
may be revealed.
36
And there was
a prophetess,
Anna,
daughter
of Phanuel,
of
the
tribe
of Asher.
She,
be
in
g advanced
greatly
in
years,
had lived
with
a husband
seven
years
from
her marriage,
37
and she
was
a widow
of about
eighty-four
years, who
did not depart
the temple,
serving
with fastings
and
prayers
night
and
day.
38
And
having come up
at that
hour,
she
was giving praise
to the
Lord
and
was speaking
concerning Him
to all
those
waiting for
the
redemption
of Jerusalem.
39
And
when
they had performed
everything
according to the
Law
of
the
Lord,
they returned
to Galilee, to
their
town,
Nazareth.
40
And
the
Child
continued to grow
and become strong,
being filled
with wisdom.
And
the
grace
of God
was upon Him.
41
And His
parents
were going
to
Jerusalem
every
year
at the
feast
of the
Passover.
42
And
when
He was
twelve
years
old
, they
having gone up
according to
the
custom
of the Feast,
43
and
having completed
the days,
in
their returning, the
boy
Jesus
remained behind
in
Jerusalem.
But His
parents
did not know.
44
And
hav
in
g supposed
Him to be
in
the
ir
company,
the
y went
a days
journey,
and
began seek
in
g
Him
among
the
relatives and
the
acqua
in
tances;
45
and not
having found
Him
,
they returned
to
Jerusalem,
seeking
Him.
46
And
it came to pass
after
three
days,
they found
Him
in
the temple, sitting
in
the
midst
of the teachers,
both
hearing
them and
questioning
them.
47
And
all
those
hearing
Him
were amazed
at His
understanding
and
answers.
48
And
having seen
Him,
they were astonished,
and His
mother
said to Him, Child
why
have You done
thus
to us?
Behold,
Your
father
and I
were seeking
You, distressing.
49
And He said to them, Why
is it
that
you were seeking
Me? Did you not know that
it behooves
Me to be in the
house
of My Father?
50
And they
did not understand
the
word
that
He spoke
to them.
51
And
He went down
with them and
came
to
Nazareth,
and He was
subject
to them. And His
mother
was treasuring up
all
these matters in her
heart.
52
And
Jesus
continued to advance
in
wisdom
and stature, and
in favor
with
God
and
men.
