Luke 2

1But it cameG1096 to passG1096 in those daysG2250 that a decree wentG1831 out from CaesarG2541 Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable worldG3625. 2The census itself firstG4413 took placeG1096 whenG1096 Cyrenius had the government of SyriaG4947. 3And all wentG4198 to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his ownG1438 cityG4172: 4and JosephG2501 alsoG2532 wentG305 up from GalileeG1056 out of the cityG4172 NazarethG3478 to Judaea, to David's cityG4172, the which isG1510 calledG2564 BethlehemG965, because he wasG1510 of the houseG3624 and familyG3965 of DavidG1138, 5to beG1510 inscribed in the census roll with MaryG3137 who wasG1510 betrothedG3423 to him [as his] wife, she beingG1510 great with child. 6And it cameG1096 to passG1096, while they wereG1510 there, the daysG2250 of her giving birthG5088 [to her child] wereG1510 fulfilled, 7and she brought forthG5088 her first-born sonG5207, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the mangerG5336, because there wasG1510 no room for them in the inn. 8And there wereG1510 shepherdsG4166 in that countryG5561 abiding without, and keepingG5442 watchG5438 by nightG3571 over their flockG4167. 9And lo, an angelG32 of [the] LordG2962 was there by them, and [the] gloryG1391 of [the] LordG2962 shoneG4034 around them, and they fearedG5399 [with] greatG3173 fearG5401. 10And the angelG32 saidG3004 to them, FearG5399 not, for beholdG2400, I announce to you glad tidings of greatG3173 joyG5479, which shall beG1510 to all the peopleG2992; 11for to-day a Saviour has beenG1510 bornG5088 to you in David's cityG4172, who isG1510 ChristG5547 [the] LordG2962. 12And this is the signG4592 to you: ye shall findG2147 a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lyingG2749 in a mangerG5336. 13And suddenlyG1810 there was with the angelG32 a multitudeG4128 of the heavenlyG3770 hostG4756, praisingG134 1GodG2316 and sayingG3004, 14GloryG1391 to 2GodG2316 in the highestG5310, and on earthG1093 peaceG1515, goodG2107 pleasureG2107 in menG444. 15And it cameG1096 to passG1330, as the angelsG32 departedG565 from them into heavenG3772, that the shepherdsG4166 saidG2980 to oneG240 another, Let us makeG1107 our way then now as farG2193 as BethlehemG965, and let us seeG3708 this thingG3778 that is comeG1096 to passG1330, which the LordG2962 has made known to us. 16And they cameG2064 with haste, and found both MaryG3137 and JosephG2501, and the babe lyingG2749 in the mangerG5336; 17and having seenG3708 [it] they madeG1107 known about the country the thingG3778 which had been saidG2980 to them concerningG4012 this childG3813. 18And all who heardG191 [it] wonderedG2296 at the thingsG3956 saidG2980 to them by the shepherdsG4166. 19But MaryG3137 kept all these thingsG3778 [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heartG2588. 20And the shepherdsG4166 returnedG5290, glorifyingG1392 and praisingG134 3GodG2316 for all thingsG3956 which they had heardG191 and seenG3708, as it had been saidG2980 to them. 21And whenG3753 eightG3638 daysG2250 were fulfilled for circumcising him, his nameG3686 was calledG2564 JesusG2424, which was the nameG3686 given by the angelG32 before he had been conceived in the wombG2836. 22And whenG3753 the daysG2250 were fulfilled for their purifying accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, they broughtG321 him to JerusalemG2414 to presentG3936 [him] to the LordG2962 23(as it is writtenG1125 in the lawG3551 of [the] LordG2962: Every maleG730 that opensG1272 the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564 holyG40 to the LordG2962), 24and to offer a sacrificeG2378 accordingG2596 to what is saidG3004 in the lawG3551 of [the] LordG2962: A pair of turtle dovesG4058, or twoG1417 young pigeons. 25And beholdG2400, there wasG1510 a manG444 in JerusalemG2419 whose nameG3686 wasG1510 SimeonG4826; and this manG444 wasG1510 justG1342 and pious, awaiting the consolation of IsraelG2474, and [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 wasG1510 upon him. 26And it wasG1510 divinely communicated to him by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, that he should not seeG3708 deathG2288 before he should seeG3708 [the] Lord's ChristG5547. 27And he cameG2064 in the SpiritG4151 into the temple; and as the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 in the childG3813 JesusG2424 that they might do for him accordingG2596 to the custom of the lawG3551, 28he receivedG1209 him into his arms, and blessedG2127 4GodG2316, and saidG3004, 29LordG1203, nowG3568 thou lettest thy bondman goG630, accordingG2596 to thy word, in peaceG1515; 30for mineG1473 eyesG3788 have seenG3708 thy salvation, 31which thou hast preparedG2090 before the faceG4383 of all peoplesG2992; 32a lightG5457 for revelationG602 of [the] GentilesG1484 and [the] gloryG1391 of thy peopleG2992 IsraelG2474. 33And his fatherG3962 and motherG3384 wonderedG2296 at the things which wereG1510 saidG2980 concerningG4012 him. 34And SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 them, and saidG3004 to MaryG3137 his motherG3384, Lo, this [child] is setG2749 for the fall and rising up of manyG4183 in IsraelG2474, and for a signG4592 spoken against; 35(and evenG2532 a swordG4501 shall goG1330 through thine own soulG5590;) so that [the] thoughtsG1261 may be revealedG601 from manyG4183 heartsG2588. 36And there wasG1510 a prophetessG4398, Anna, daughterG2364 of Phanuel, of [the] tribeG5443 of AsherG768, who wasG1510 far advanced in yearsG2094, having lived with [her] husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 from her virginity, 37and herself a widowG5503 up to eighty-four yearsG2094; who did not departG868 from the temple, servingG3000 nightG3571 and dayG2250 with fastings and prayersG1162; 38and she coming up the sameG846 hourG5610 gave praise to the Lord, and spokeG2980 of him to all those who waited for redemptionG3085 in JerusalemG2419. 39And whenG5613 they had completed all thingsG3956 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of [the] LordG2962, they returnedG1994 to GalileeG1056 to their ownG1438 cityG4172 NazarethG3478. 40And the childG3813 grewG837 and waxed strong [in spirit], filledG4137 with wisdomG4678, and 5God's graceG5485 wasG1510 upon him. 41And his parentsG1118 wentG4198 yearly to JerusalemG2419 at the feastG1859 of the passoverG3957. 42And whenG3753 he was twelveG1427 yearsG2094 old, and they wentG305 up [to Jerusalem] accordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the feastG1859 43and had completed the daysG2250, as they returnedG5290, the boyG3816 JesusG2424 remainedG5278 behind in JerusalemG2419, and his parentsG1118 knewG1097 not [of it]; 44but, supposing him to beG1510 in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journeyG3598, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances: 45and not having foundG2147 him they returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 seeking him. 46And it cameG1096 to passG1096, after threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147 him in the temple, sitting in the midstG3319 of the teachersG1320 and hearingG191 them and askingG1905 them questionsG1905. 47And all who heardG191 him were astonished at his understandingG4907 and answersG612. 48And when they sawG3708 him they were amazed: and his motherG3384 saidG3004 to him, ChildG5043, whyG5101 hast thou dealt thusG3779 with us? beholdG2400, thy fatherG3962 and I have soughtG2212 thee distressed. 49And he saidG3004 to them, WhyG5101 [isG1510 it] that ye have soughtG2212 me? did ye not know that I oughtG1163 to beG1510 [occupied] in my Father's business? 50And they understoodG4920 not the thing that he saidG2980 to them. 51And he went downG2597 with them and cameG2064 to NazarethG3478, and he wasG1510 in subjectionG5293 to them. And his motherG3384 kept all these thingsG3956 in her heartG2588. 52And JesusG2424 advanced in wisdomG4678 and statureG2244, and in favour with 6GodG2316 and menG444.
