1
And
it came to pass in
those
days,
that there went out
a decree
from
Caesar
Augustus,
that all
the world
should be taxed.
2
(
And
this
taxing
was
first
made
when Cyrenius
was
governor
of Syria.
)
3
And
all
went
to be taxed,
every one
into his own
city.
4
And
Joseph
also
went up
from
Galilee,
out of
the city
of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto
the city
of David,
which
is called
Bethlehem;
(because
he was of
the house
and
lineage
of David:)
5
To be taxed
with
Mary
his
espoused
wife, being
great
with
child.
6
And so it was,
that, while
they were
there,
the days
were accomplished that she
should be delivered.
7
And
she brought forth
her
firstborn
son,
and
wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and
laid
him in
a manger;
because
there was
no
room
for them in
the inn.
8
And there were in
the same
country
shepherds
abiding in the field,
keeping
watch
over
their
flock
by night.
9
And, lo,
the angel
of the Lord
came upon
them, and
the glory
of the Lord
shone round about
them: and
they were sore
afraid.
10
And
the angel
said unto them,
Fear
not: for,
behold,
I bring
you good tidings
of great
joy,
which
shall be
to all
people.
11
For unto you
is born
this day
in
the city
of David
a Saviour,
which
is
Christ
the Lord.
12
And this
shall be
a sign
unto you;
Ye shall find
the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying
in
a manger.
13
And
suddenly
there was
with
the angel
a multitude
of the heavenly
host
praising
God,
and
saying,
14
Glory
to God
in
the highest,
and on
earth
peace,
good will
toward
men.
15
And
it came to pass,
as
the angels
were gone away
from them into
heaven,
the shepherds said
one
to another,
Let us
now
go even unto
Bethlehem,
and see this
thing
which
is come to pass,
which
the Lord
hath made known
unto us.
16
And
they came
with haste,
and
found
Mary,
and
Joseph,
and
the babe
lying
in
a manger.
17
And when they had seen
it
, they made known abroad
the saying
which
was told
them concerning this
child.
18
And
all
they that heard
it
wondered
at those things which
were told
them by
the shepherds.
19
But
Mary
kept
all
these things,
and pondered
them
in her
heart.
20
And
the shepherds
returned,
glorifying
and
praising
God
for
all the things
that
they had heard
and seen,
as
it was told
unto them.
21
And
when
eight
days
were accomplished
for the circumcising
of the child, his
name
was called
JESUS,
which
was so named
of
the angel
before
he
was conceived
in
the womb.
22
And
when
the days
of her
purification
according
to the law
of Moses
were accomplished,
they brought
him to
Jerusalem,
to present
him
to the Lord;
23
(As
it is written
in
the law
of the Lord,
Every
male
that openeth
the womb
shall be called
holy
to the Lord;
)
24
And
to offer
a sacrifice
according
to that which is said in
the law
of the Lord,
A pair
of turtledoves,
or
two
young
pigeons.
25
And, behold, there was
a
man
in
Jerusalem,
whose
name
was
Simeon;
and
the same
man
was
just
and
devout,
waiting
for the consolation
of Israel:
and
the Holy
Ghost
was upon him.
26
And it was
revealed
unto him by
the Holy
Ghost,
that he should not see
death,
before
he had seen
the Lord's
Christ.
27
And
he came
by
the Spirit
into the temple: and
when the parents
brought
in
the child
Jesus,
to do
for him after
the custom
of the law,
28
Then
took
he him up in his
arms,
and
blessed
God,
and said,
29
Lord,
now
lettest thou
thy
servant
depart
in
peace,
according
to thy
word:
30
For mine
eyes
have seen thy
salvation,
31
Which
thou hast prepared
before
the face
of all
people;
32
A light
to
lighten
the Gentiles,
and
the glory
of thy
people
Israel.
33
And Joseph and his
mother
marvelled at
those things which were spoken
of
him.
34
And
Simeon
blessed
them, and said unto
Mary
his
mother,
Behold,
this
child
is set
for
the fall
and
rising again
of many
in
Israel;
and for
a sign
which shall be spoken against;
35
(Yea,
a sword
shall pierce through
thy
own
soul
also,
) that
the thoughts
of
many
hearts
may be revealed.
36
And there was
one Anna,
a prophetess,
the daughter
of Phanuel,
of
the tribe
of Aser:
she was of a great
age,
and had lived
with
an husband
seven
years
from
her
virginity;
37
And she
was
a widow
of about
fourscore
and four
years,
which
departed
not
from the temple,
but served
God
with fastings
and
prayers
night
and
day.
38
And she
coming in
that
instant
gave thanks likewise
unto the Lord, and
spake
of him
to all
them
that
looked
for redemption
in
Jerusalem.
39
And
when
they had performed
all things
according
to the law
of the Lord,
they returned into
Galilee,
to their own
city
Nazareth.
40
And
the child
grew,
and
waxed strong
in spirit,
filled
with wisdom:
and
the grace
of God
was upon him.
41
Now his
parents
went
to
Jerusalem
every
year
at the feast
of the passover.
42
And
when
he was
twelve
years old, they
went up
to Jerusalem
after
the custom
of the feast.
43
And
when they had fulfilled
the days,
as they
returned,
the child
Jesus
tarried behind
in
Jerusalem;
and Joseph and his mother knew
not
of it
.
44
But
they, supposing
him to have been
in
the company,
went
a day's
journey;
and
they sought
him among
their
kinsfolk
and
acquaintance.
45
And
when they found
him not,
they turned back again
to
Jerusalem,
seeking him.
46
And
it came to pass,
that after
three
days
they found
him in the temple,
sitting
in
the midst
of the doctors,
both
hearing
them, and
asking
them questions.
47
And
all
that heard
him
were astonished
at his
understanding
and
answers.
48
And when they saw him,
they were amazed:
and his
mother
said unto him,
Son,
why
hast thou
thus
dealt with us?
behold,
thy
father
and I
have sought
thee
sorrowing.
49
And he said unto them,
How
is it that
ye sought
me? wist ye not that I
must
be about my
Father's business?
50
And they
understood
not
the saying
which
he spake
unto them.
51
And
he went down
with them, and
came
to
Nazareth,
and was
subject
unto them: but his
mother
kept
all
these
sayings
in her
heart.
52
And
Jesus
increased
in wisdom
and
stature,
and
in favour
with
God
and
man.
