Luke 2:8-28

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,
