Lucas 2

1Now^G1161 it came to pass^G1096 in^G1722 those days^G2250, there^G1565 went out^G1831 a decree^G1378 from^G3844 Caesar^G2541 Augustus^G828, that all^G3956 the world^G3625 should be enrolled^G583. 2This^G3778 was^G1096 the first^G4413 enrolment^G582 made when^G1096 Quirinius was^G1096 governor^G2230 of Syria^G4947. 3And^G2532 all^G3956 went^G4198 to enrol^G583 themselves, every one^G1538 to^G1519 his own^G2398 city^G4172. 4And^G2532 Joseph^G2501 also^G1161 went up^G305 from^G575 Galilee^G1056, out of^G1537 the city^G4172 of Nazareth^G3478, into^G1519 Judaea^G2449, to^G1519 the city^G4172 of David^G1138, which^G3748 is called^G2564 Bethlehem^G965, because^G1223 he^G846 was^G1511 of^G1537 the house^G3624 and^G2532 family^G3965 of David^G1138; 5to enrol^G583 himself with^G4862 Mary^G3137, who was betrothed^G3423 to^G1135 him^G846, being^G5607 great with child^G1471. 6And^G1161 it came^G1096 to pass, while^G1722 they^G846 were^G1511 there^G1563, the days^G2250 were fulfilled^G4130 that she^G846 should be delivered^G5088. 7And^G2532 she brought forth^G5088 her^G846 firstborn^G4416 son^G5207; and^G2532 she wrapped^G4683 him^G846 in swaddling clothes^G4683, and^G2532 laid^G347 him^G846 in^G1722 a manger^G5336, because^G1360 there was^G2258 no^G3756 room^G5117 for them^G846 in^G1722 the inn^G2646. 8And^G2532 there were^G2258 shepherds^G4166 in^G1722 the same^G846 country^G5561 abiding in the field^G63, and keeping^G5442 watch^G5438 by night^G3571 over^G1909 their^G846 flock^G4167. 9And^G2532 an angel^G32 of the Lord^G2962 stood by^G2186 them^G846, and^G2532 the glory^G1391 of the Lord^G2962 shone round about^G4034 them^G846: and^G2532 they were^G5399 sore^G3173 afraid^G5399. 10And^G2532 the angel^G32 said^G2036 unto them^G846, Be not^G3361 afraid^G5399; for^G1063 behold^G2400, I bring^G2097 you^G5213 good tidings^G2097 of^G5479 great^G3173 joy^G5479 which^G3748 shall be^G2071 to^G2992 all^G3956 the people^G2992: 11for^G3754 there is born^G5088 to you^G5213 this day^G4594 in^G1722 the city^G4172 of David^G1138 a Saviour^G4990, who^G3739 is^G2076 Christ^G5547 the Lord^G2962. 12And^G2532 this^G5124 is the sign^G4592 unto you^G5213: Ye shall find^G2147 a babe^G1025 wrapped in swaddling clothes^G4683, and lying^G2749 in^G1722 a manger^G5336. 13And^G2532 suddenly^G1810 there was^G1096 with^G4862 the angel^G32 a multitude^G4128 of the heavenly^G3770 host^G4756 praising^G134 God^G2316, and^G2532 saying^G3004, 14Glory^G1391 to God^G2316 in^G1722 the highest^G5310, And^G2532 on^G1909 earth^G1093 peace^G1515 among^G1722 men^G444 in whom he is well pleased. 15And^G2532 it came to pass^G1096, when^G5613 the angels^G32 went away^G565 from^G575 them^G846 into^G1519 heaven^G3772, the shepherds^G4166 said^G2036 one^G240 to^G4314 another^G240, Let us^G1330 now^G1211 go^G1330 even unto^G2193 Bethlehem^G965, and^G2532 see^G1492 this^G5124 thing^G4487 that is come to pass^G1096, which^G3739 the Lord^G2962 hath made known^G1107 unto us^G444. 16And^G2532 they came^G2064 with haste^G4692, and^G2532 found^G429 both Mary^G3137 and^G2532 Joseph^G2501, and^G2532 the babe^G1025 lying^G2749 in^G1722 the manger^G5037. 17And^G1161 when they saw^G1492 it, they made known^G1232 concerning^G4012 the saying^G4487 which was spoken^G2980 to them^G846 about^G4012 this^G5127 child^G3813. 18And^G2532 all^G3956 that heard^G191 it wondered^G2296 at^G4012 the things which^G3588 were spoken^G2980 unto them^G846 by^G5259 the shepherds^G4314. 19But^G1161 Mary^G3137 kept^G4933 all^G3956 these^G5023 sayings^G4487, pondering^G4820 them in^G1722 her^G846 heart^G2588. 20And^G2532 the shepherds^G4166 returned^G1994, glorifying^G1392 and^G2532 praising^G134 God^G2316 for^G1909 all^G3956 the things that^G3739 they had heard^G191 and^G2532 seen^G1492, even as^G2531 it was spoken^G2980 unto^G4314 them^G846. 21And^G2532 when^G3753 eight^G3638 days^G2250 were fulfilled^G4130 for circumcising^G4059 him^G3813, his^G846 name^G3686 was called^G2564 JESUS^G2424, which was so called^G2564 by^G5259 the angel^G32 before^G4253 he^G846 was conceived^G4815 in^G1722 the womb^G2532. 22And^G2532 when^G3753 the days^G2250 of^G2512 their^G846 purification^G2512 according to^G2596 the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475 were fulfilled^G4130, they brought^G321 him^G846 up to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, to present^G3936 him to the Lord^G2962 23(as^G2531 it is written^G1125 in^G1722 the law^G3551 of the Lord^G2962, Every^G3956 male^G730 that openeth^G1272 the womb^G3388 shall be called^G2564 holy^G40 to the Lord^G2962), 24and^G2532 to offer^G1325 a sacrifice^G2378 according to^G2596 that which is said^G2046 in^G1722 the law^G3551 of the Lord^G2962, A pair^G2201 of turtledoves^G5167, or^G2228 two^G1417 young^G3502 pigeons^G4058. 25And^G2532 behold^G2400, there was^G2258 a man^G444 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419, whose^G3739 name^G3686 was Simeon^G4826; and^G2532 this^G3778 man^G444 was righteous^G1342 and^G2532 devout^G2126, looking^G4327 for the consolation^G3874 of Israel^G2474: and^G2532 the^G4151 Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 was^G2258 upon^G1909 him^G846. 26And^G2532 it had been^G2258 revealed^G5537 unto him^G846 by^G5259 the^G4151 Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151, that he should^G1492 not^G3361 see^G1492 death^G2288, before^G4250 he had seen^G1492 the^G5547 Lord's^G2962 Christ^G5547. 27And^G2532 he came^G2064 in^G1722 the Spirit^G4151 into^G1519 the temple^G2411: and^G2532 when^G1722 the parents^G1118 brought in^G1521 the child^G3813 Jesus^G2424, that they might do^G4160 concerning^G4012 him^G846 after^G2596 the custom^G1480 of the law^G846, 28then^G2532 he^G846 received^G1209 him^G846 into^G1519 his^G846 arms^G43, and^G2532 blessed^G2127 God^G2316, and^G2532 said^G2036, 29Now^G3568 lettest thou^G630 thy^G4675 servant^G1401 depart^G630, Lord^G1203, According to^G2596 thy^G4675 word^G4487, in^G1722 peace^G1515; 30For^G3754 mine^G3450 eyes^G3788 have seen^G1492 thy^G4675 salvation^G4992, 31Which^G3739 thou hast prepared^G2090 before^G2596 the face^G4383 of all^G3956 peoples^G2992; 32A light^G5457 for^G1519 revelation^G602 to the Gentiles^G1484, And^G2532 the glory^G1391 of^G2992 thy^G4675 people^G2992 Israel^G2474. 33And^G2532 his father^G2501 and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 were marvelling^G2296 at^G1909 the things which were spoken^G2980 concerning^G4012 him^G2258; 34and^G2532 Simeon^G4826 blessed^G2127 them^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036 unto^G4314 Mary^G3137 his^G846 mother^G3384, Behold^G2400, this^G3778 child is set^G2749 for^G1519 the falling^G4431 and^G2532 the rising^G386 of many^G4183 in^G1722 Israel^G2474; and^G2532 for^G1519 a sign^G4592 which is spoken against^G483; 35yea^G1161 and a sword^G4501 shall pierce through^G1330 thine^G4675 own^G846 soul^G5590; that^G3704 thoughts^G1261 out of^G1537 many^G4183 hearts^G2588 may be revealed^G601. 36And^G2532 there was^G2258 one Anna^G451, a prophetess^G4398, the daughter^G2364 of Phanuel^G5323, of^G1537 the tribe^G5443 of Asher^G768 (she^G846 was of^G4260 a great^G4183 age^G4260, having lived^G2198 with^G3326 a husband^G435 seven^G2033 years^G2094 from^G575 her^G846 virginity^G1722, 37and^G2532 she^G846 had been a widow^G5503 even unto^G5613 fourscore and four^G3589 years^G2094), who^G3739 departed^G868 not^G3756 from^G575 the temple^G2411, worshipping^G3000 with fastings^G3521 and^G2532 supplications^G1162 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G3778. 38And^G2532 coming up^G2186 at that^G846 very hour^G5610 she^G846 gave thanks^G437 unto God^G2962, and^G2532 spake^G2980 of^G4012 him^G846 to all^G3956 them that were looking^G4327 for the redemption^G3085 of^G1722 Jerusalem^G3778. 39And^G2532 when^G5613 they had accomplished^G5055 all things^G537 that were according to^G2596 the law^G3551 of the Lord^G2962, they returned^G5290 into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, to^G1519 their own^G846 city^G4172 Nazareth^G3478. 40And^G1161 the child^G3813 grew^G837, and^G2532 waxed^G4151 strong^G2901, filled^G4137 with wisdom^G4678: and^G2532 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 was^G2258 upon^G1909 him^G846. 41And^G2532 his^G846 parents^G1118 went^G4198 every^G2596 year^G2094 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419 at the feast^G1859 of the passover^G3957. 42And^G2532 when^G3753 he was^G1096 twelve^G1427 years old^G2094, they^G846 went up^G305 after^G2596 the custom^G1485 of the feast^G1859; 43and^G2532 when they^G846 had fulfilled^G5048 the days^G2250, as^G1722 they^G846 were returning^G5290, the boy^G3816 Jesus^G2424 tarried behind^G5278 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419; and^G2532 his^G846 parents^G3384 knew^G1097 it not^G3756; 44but^G1161 supposing^G3543 him^G846 to be^G1511 in^G1722 the company^G4923, they went^G2064 a day's^G2250 journey^G3598; and^G2532 they sought^G327 for him^G846 among^G1722 their kinsfolk^G4773 and^G2532 acquaintance^G1110: 45and^G2532 when they found^G2147 him^G846 not^G3361, they returned^G5290 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, seeking^G2212 for him^G846. 46And^G2532 it came to pass^G1096, after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 they found^G2147 him^G846 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, sitting^G2516 in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of the teachers^G1320, both^G2532 hearing^G191 them^G846, and^G2532 asking^G1905 them^G846 questions^G1905: 47and^G1161 all^G3956 that heard^G191 him^G846 were amazed^G1839 at^G1909 his^G846 understanding^G4907 and^G2532 his answers^G612. 48And^G2532 when they saw^G1492 him^G846, they were astonished^G1605; and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846, Son^G5043, why^G5101 hast thou^G4160 thus^G3779 dealt^G4160 with us^G2254? behold^G2400, thy^G4675 father^G3962 and I^G2504 sought^G2212 thee^G4571 sorrowing^G3600. 49And^G2532 he said^G2036 unto^G4314 them^G846, How^G5101 is it that^G3754 ye sought^G2212 me^G3165? knew ye^G1492 not^G3756 that^G3754 I^G3165 must^G1163 be^G1511 in^G1722 my^G3450 Father's^G3962 house^G3588? 50And^G2532 they^G846 understood^G4920 not^G3756 the saying^G4487 which^G3739 he spake^G2980 unto them^G846. 51And^G2532 he went down^G2597 with^G3326 them^G846, and^G2532 came^G2064 to^G1519 Nazareth^G3478; and^G2532 he was^G2258 subject unto^G5293 them^G846: and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 kept^G1301 all^G3956 these^G5023 sayings^G4487 in^G1722 her^G846 heart^G2588. 52And^G2532 Jesus^G2424 advanced^G4298 in wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 stature^G2244, and^G2532 in favor^G5485 with^G3844 God^G2316 and^G2532 men^G444.
