Luke 2
1And
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.)
3And
all went to be
taxed, every one
into his own
city.
4And
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:)
5To
be taxed with
Mary his
espoused wife,
being great with
child.
6And
so it was, that,
while they were
there, the days
were
accomplished
that she should
be delivered.
7And
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.
8And
there were in
the same country
shepherds
abiding in the
field, keeping
watch over their
flock by night.
9And,
lo, the angel of
the Lord came
upon them, and
the glory of the
Lord shone round
about them: and
they were sore
afraid.
10And
the angel said
unto them, Fear
not: for,
behold, I bring
you good tidings
of great joy,
which shall be
to all people.
11For
unto you is born
this day in the
city of David a
Saviour, which
is Christ the
Lord.
12And
this shall be a
sign unto you;
Ye shall find
the babe wrapped
in swaddling
clothes, lying
in a manger.
13And
suddenly there
was with the
angel a
multitude of the
heavenly host
praising God,
and saying,
14Glory
to God in the
highest, and on
earth peace,
good will toward
men.
15And
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.
16And
they came with
haste, and found
Mary, and
Joseph, and the
babe lying in a
manger.
17And
when they had
seen it, they
made known
abroad the
saying which was
told them
concerning this
child.
18And
all they that
heard it
wondered at
those things
which were told
them by the
shepherds.
19But
Mary kept all
these things,
and pondered
them in her
heart.
20And
the shepherds
returned,
glorifying and
praising God for
all the things
that they had
heard and seen,
as it was told
unto them.
21And
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.
22And
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;)
24And
to offer a
sacrifice
according to
that which is
said in the law
of the Lord, A
pair of
turtledoves, or
two young
pigeons.
25And,
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.
26And
it was revealed
unto him by the
Holy Ghost, that
he should not
see death,
before he had
seen the Lord's
Christ.
27And
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,
28Then
took he him up
in his arms, and
blessed God, and
said,
29Lord,
now lettest thou
thy servant
depart in peace,
according to thy
word:
30For
mine eyes have
seen thy
salvation,
31Which
thou hast
prepared before
the face of all
people;
32A
light to lighten
the Gentiles,
and the glory of
thy people
Israel.
33And
Joseph and his
mother marvelled
at those things
which were
spoken of him.
34And
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.
36And
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;
37And
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.
38And
she coming in
that instant
gave thanks
likewise unto
the Lord, and
spake of him to
all them that
looked for
redemption in
Jerusalem.
39And
when they had
performed all
things according
to the law of
the Lord, they
returned into
Galilee, to
their own city
Nazareth.
40And
the child grew,
and waxed strong
in spirit,
filled with
wisdom: and the
grace of God was
upon him.
41Now
his parents went
to Jerusalem
every year at
the feast of the
passover.
42And
when he was
twelve years
old, they went
up to Jerusalem
after the custom
of the feast.
43And
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.
44But
they, supposing
him to have been
in the company,
went a day's
journey; and
they sought him
among their
kinsfolk and
acquaintance.
45And
when they found
him not, they
turned back
again to
Jerusalem,
seeking him.
46And
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.
47And
all that heard
him were
astonished at
his
understanding
and answers.
48And
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.
49And
he said unto
them, How is it
that ye sought
me? wist ye not
that I must be
about my
Father's
business?
50And
they understood
not the saying
which he spake
unto them.
51And
he went down
with them, and
came to
Nazareth, and
was subject unto
them: but his
mother kept all
these sayings in
her heart.
52And
Jesus increased
in wisdom and
stature, and in
favour with God
and man.
