And
it came to
pass
in
those
days
, that there went
out
a
decree
from
Caesar
Augustus
, that
all
the
world
should be
taxed
.
strkjv@Luke:2:2
@ (And
this
taxing
was
first
made
when
Cyrenius
was
governor
of
Syria
.)
strkjv@Luke:2:3
@
And
all
went
to be
taxed
, every
one
into
his
own
city
.
strkjv@Luke:2:4
@
And
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

strkjv@Luke:2:5
@ To be
taxed
with
Mary
his
espoused
wife
,
being
great with
child

strkjv@Luke:2:6
@
And
so it
was
, that,
while
they
were
there
, the
days
were
accomplished
that
she
should be
delivered
.
strkjv@Luke:2:7
@
And
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
.
strkjv@Luke:2:8
@
And
there
were
in
the
same
country
shepherds
abiding in the
field
,
keeping
watch
over
their
flock
by
night
.
strkjv@Luke:2:9
@
And
,
lo
, the
angel
of the
Lord
came
upon
them
,
and
the
glory
of the
Lord
shone round
about
them
:
and
they were
sore
afraid
.
strkjv@Luke:2:10
@
And
the
angel
said
unto
them
,
Fear
not
:
for
,
behold
, I
bring
you
good
tidings
of
great
joy
,
which
shall
be
to
all
people

strkjv@Luke:2:11
@
For
unto
you
is
born
this
day
in
the
city

a
Saviour
,
which
is
Christ
the
Lord

strkjv@Luke:2:12
@
And
this
shall be a
sign
unto
you
; Ye shall
find
the
babe
wrapped in swaddling
clothes
,
lying
in
a
manger

strkjv@Luke:2:13
@
And
suddenly
there
was
with
the
angel
a
multitude
of the
heavenly
host
praising
God
,

saying
,
strkjv@Luke:2:14
@
Glory
to
God
in
the
highest
,
and
on
earth
peace

will
toward

strkjv@Luke:2:15
@
And
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

strkjv@Luke:2:16
@
And
they
came
with
haste
,
and
found
Mary
,
and
Joseph
,
and
the
babe
lying
in
a
manger
.
strkjv@Luke:2:17
@
And
when they had
seen
it, they made known
abroad
the
saying
which
was
told
them
concerning
this
child
.
strkjv@Luke:2:18
@
And
all
they that
heard
it
wondered
at
those things
which
were
told
them
by
the
shepherds
.
strkjv@Luke:2:19
@
But
Mary
kept
all
these
things
, and
pondered
them
in
her
heart
.
strkjv@Luke:2:20
@
And
the
shepherds
returned
,
glorifying
and
praising
God
for
all the
things
that
they had
heard

seen
,
as
it was
told
unto
them

strkjv@Luke:2:21
@
And
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

strkjv@Luke:2:22
@
And
when
the
days
of
her
purification
according

law

Moses
were
accomplished

brought
him
to
Jerusalem

present
him to the
Lord
;
strkjv@Luke:2:23
@ (
As
it is

@
And
,
behold
, there
was
a
man
in
Jerusalem

whose
name
was
Simeon

man
was
just
and
devout
,
waiting
for the
consolation
of
Israel

the
Holy
Ghost
was
upon
him

strkjv@Luke:2:26

it
was
revealed
unto
him
by

Holy
Ghost

should
not
see
death

before
he had
seen
the
Lords
Christ

strkjv@Luke:2:27
@
And
he
came
by
the
Spirit
into
the
temple

parents
brought
in
the
child
Jesus
, to
do
for
him
after
the
custom

law

strkjv@Luke:2:28
@
Then
took
he
him
up
in
his
arms

and
blessed
God
,
and
said
,
strkjv@Luke:2:29
@
Lord
,
now
lettest
thou
thy
servant
depart
in
peace
,
according
to
thy
word

strkjv@Luke:2:30
@
For
mine
eyes
have
seen
thy
salvation

strkjv@Luke:2:31

thou hast
prepared

Gentiles

the
glory

people

strkjv@Luke:2:33
@
And
Joseph
and
his
mother
marvelled
at
those things which were
spoken
of
him
.
strkjv@Luke:2:34
@
And
Simeon
blessed
them
,
and
said
unto
Mary
his
mother
,
Behold
,
this
child is
set
for
the
fall

rising
again
of

in
Israel

@
And
there
was
one
Anna
, a
prophetess
, the
daughter
of
Phanuel

of
the
tribe
of
Aser

she
was of a
great
age

lived
with
an
husband
seven
years
from
her
virginity
;
strkjv@Luke:2:37
@
And
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
.
strkjv@Luke:2:38
@
And
she
coming
in
that
instant
gave thanks
likewise
unto the
Lord
,
and
spake
of
him
to
all
them that
looked
for
redemption
in
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@Luke:2:39
@
And
when
they had
performed
all
things
according
to the
law
of the
Lord
, they
returned
into
Galilee
,
to
their
own
city
Nazareth

strkjv@Luke:2:40

And
the
child
grew
,
and
waxed
strong
in
spirit

filled
with
wisdom
:
and
the
grace
of
God
was
upon
him

strkjv@Luke:2:41

Now
his

went
to
Jerusalem
every
year

feast

passover

strkjv@Luke:2:42
@
And
when
he
was
twelve
years
old

they
went
up
to
Jerusalem
after
the
custom
of the
feast

strkjv@Luke:2:43
@
And
when they had
fulfilled
the
days
,
as
they
returned

child
Jesus
tarried
behind
in
Jerusalem
;
and
Joseph
and
his
mother
knew
not
of it.
strkjv@Luke:2:44
@
But
they,
supposing
him
to have
been
in
the
company

went
a
days
journey
;

they
sought
him
among
their
kinsfolk

acquaintance

strkjv@Luke:2:45
@

when they
found

not
, they turned back
again
to
Jerusalem

seeking
him

And
it came to
pass
, that
after
three
days
they
found
him
in

temple

sitting
in
the
midst
of the
doctors
,
both
hearing
them

and
asking
them
questions

strkjv@Luke:2:47

understanding

answers

And
when they
saw
him

amazed

his

said
unto
him

Son
,
why
hast
thou
thus
dealt
with
us
?
behold
,
thy
father
and
I
have
sought
thee
sorrowing
.
strkjv@Luke:2:49

And
he
said
unto
them
,
How
is it
that
ye
sought
me
? wist
ye
not
that
I
must
be
about
my
Fathers
business
?
strkjv@Luke:2:50
@
And
they
understood
not
the
saying
which
he
spake
unto
them

strkjv@Luke:2:51

And
he went
down
with
them
,
and
came
to
Nazareth
,
and
was
subject
unto
them
:
but
his
mother
kept
all
these
sayings
in

heart

Jesus
increased
in
wisdom
