Luke 2
2And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.G1161G1096G1722G1565G2250G1831G1378G3844G2541G828G3956G3625G5832(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)G3778G582G1096G4413G1096G2958G2230G49473And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.G2532G3956G4198G583G1538G1519G2398G41724And 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:)G1161G2501G2532G305G575G1056G1537G4172G3478G1519G2449G1519G4172G1138G3748G2564G965G1223G846G1511G1537G3624G2532G3965G11385To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.G583G4862G3137G846G3423G1135G5607G14716And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.G1161G1096G1722G846G1511G1563G2250G4130G846G50887And 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.G2532G5088G846G4416G5207G2532G4683G846G4683G2532G347G846G1722G5336G1360G2258G3756G5117G846G1722G26468And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.G2532G2258G1722G846G5561G4166G63G2532G5442G5438G1909G846G4167G35719And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.G2532G2400G32G2962G2186G846G2532G1391G2962G4034G846G2532G3173G5399G540110And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.G2532G32G2036G846G5399G3361G1063G2400G2097G5213G2097G3173G5479G3748G2071G3956G299211For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.G3754G5213G5088G4594G1722G4172G1138G4990G3739G2076G5547G296212And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.G2532G5124G4592G5213G2147G1025G4683G2749G1722G533613And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,G2532G1810G1096G4862G32G4128G3770G4756G134G2316G2532G300414Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.G1391G2316G1722G5310G2532G1909G1093G1515G2107G1722G44415And 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.G2532G1096G5613G32G565G575G846G1519G3772G2532G444G4166G2036G240G4314G240G1330G1211G1330G2193G965G2532G1492G5124G4487G1096G3739G3588G2962G1107G225416And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.G2532G2064G4692G2532G5037G429G3137G2532G2501G2532G1025G2749G1722G533617And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.G1161G1492G1232G4012G4487G3588G2980G846G4012G5127G381318And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.G2532G3956G191G2296G4012G3588G2980G4314G846G5259G416619But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.G1161G3137G4933G3956G4487G5023G4820G1722G846G258820And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.G2532G4166G1994G1392G2532G134G2316G1909G3956G3739G191G2532G1492G2531G2980G4314G84621And 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.G2532G3753G3638G2250G4130G4059G3813G2532G846G3686G2564G2424G3588G2564G5259G32G4253G846G4815G1722G283622And 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;G2532G3753G2250G846G2512G2596G3551G3475G4130G321G846G1519G2414G3936G296223(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)G2531G1125G1722G3551G2962G3754G3956G730G1272G3388G2564G40G296224And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.G2532G1325G2378G2596G2046G1722G3551G2962G2201G5167G2228G1417G3502G405825And, 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.G2532G2400G2258G444G1722G2419G3739G3686G4826G2532G3778G444G1342G2532G2126G4327G3874G2474G2532G40G4151G2258G1909G84626And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.G2532G2258G5537G846G5259G40G4151G1492G3361G1492G2288G4250G2228G1492G2962G554727And 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,G2532G2064G1722G4151G1519G2411G2532G1118G1521G1722G3813G2424G4160G846G4012G846G2596G1480G355128Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,G2532G1209G846G846G1209G1519G846G43G2532G2127G2316G2532G203629Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:G1203G3568G630G4675G1401G630G1722G1515G2596G4675G448730For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,G3754G3450G3788G1492G4675G499231Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;G3739G2090G2596G4383G3956G299232A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.G5457G1519G602G1484G2532G1391G4675G2992G247433And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.G2532G2501G2532G846G3384G2258G2296G1909G2980G4012G84634And 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;G2532G4826G2127G846G2532G2036G4314G3137G846G3384G2400G3778G2749G1519G4431G2532G386G4183G1722G2474G2532G1519G4592G48335(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.G1161G4501G1330G4675G846G5590G2532G3704G1261G1537G4183G2588G302G60136And 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;G2532G2258G451G4398G2364G5323G1537G5443G768G3778G846G4183G1722G2250G4260G2198G3326G435G2033G2094G575G846G393237And 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.G2532G3778G5503G5613G3589G5064G2094G3739G868G3756G575G2411G3000G3521G2532G1162G3571G2532G225038And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.G2532G3778G846G2186G846G5610G437G2962G2532G2980G4012G846G3956G4327G3085G1722G241939And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.G2532G5613G5055G537G2596G3551G2962G5290G1519G1056G1519G846G4172G347840And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.G1161G3813G837G2532G2901G4151G4137G4678G2532G5485G2316G2258G1909G84641Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.G2532G846G1118G4198G1519G2419G2596G2094G1859G395742And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.G2532G3753G1096G1427G2094G846G305G1519G2414G2596G1485G185943And 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.G2532G5048G2250G1722G846G5290G3816G2424G5278G1722G2419G2532G2501G2532G846G3384G1097G375644But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.G1161G3543G846G1511G1722G4923G2064G2250G3598G2532G327G846G1722G4773G2532G1722G111045And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.G2532G2147G846G3361G5290G1519G2419G2212G84646And 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.G2532G1096G3326G5140G2250G2147G846G1722G2411G2516G1722G3319G1320G2532G191G846G2532G1905G846G190547And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.G1161G3956G191G846G1839G1909G846G4907G2532G61248And 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.G2532G1492G846G1605G2532G846G3384G2036G4314G846G5043G5101G4160G3779G4160G2254G2400G4675G3962G2504G2212G4571G360049And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?G2532G2036G4314G846G5101G3754G2212G3165G1492G3756G3754G3165G1163G1511G1722G3450G396250And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.G2532G846G4920G3756G4487G3739G2980G84651And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.G2532G2597G3326G846G2532G2064G1519G3478G2532G2258G5293G846G2532G846G3384G1301G3956G5023G4487G1722G846G258852And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.G2532G2424G4298G4678G2532G2244G2532G5485G3844G2316G2532G444
