| [1]And in those days it occurred, that a decree went forth from Augustus Caesar, that all the people of his dominion should be enrolled. |
[1]AndG1161 it came to passG1096[G5633] inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that there went outG1831[G5627] a decreeG1378 fromG3844 CaesarG2541 AugustusG828, that allG3956 the worldG3625 should be taxedG583.[G5729] |
| [2]And this enrollment was first made under the presidency of Quirinus in Syria. |
[2](And thisG3778 taxingG582 wasG1096 firstG4413 madeG1096[G5633] when CyreniusG2958 was governorG2230[G5723] of SyriaG4947.) |
| [3]And everyone went to his own city to be enrolled. |
[3]AndG2532 allG3956 wentG4198[G5711] to be taxedG583[G5745], every oneG1538 intoG1519 his ownG2398 cityG4172. |
| [4]And Joseph also went up from Nazareth of Galilee to Judaea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, |
[4]AndG1161 JosephG2501 alsoG2532 went upG305[G5627] fromG575 GalileeG1056, out ofG1537 the cityG4172 of NazarethG3478, intoG1519 JudaeaG2449, untoG1519 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138, whichG3748 is calledG2564[G5743] BethlehemG965; (becauseG1223 heG846 wasG1511[G5750] ofG1537 the houseG3624 andG2532 lineageG3965 of DavidG1138:) |
| [5]with Mary his espoused, then pregnant, to be enrolled. |
[5]To be taxedG583[G5670] withG4862 MaryG3137 hisG846 espousedG3423[G5772] wifeG1135, beingG5607[G5752] great with childG1471. |
| [6]And it was while they were there, that the days for her to bring forth were completed. |
[6]AndG1161 so it wasG1096[G5633], that, whileG1722 theyG846 wereG1511[G5750] thereG1563, the daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130[G5681] that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088.[G5629] |
| [7]And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in bandages, and laid him in the stall; for they had no place where they could lodge. |
[7]AndG2532 she brought forthG5088[G5627] herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG5207, andG2532 wrappedG4683 himG846 in swaddling clothesG4683[G5656], andG2532 laidG347[G5656] himG846 inG1722 a mangerG5336; becauseG1360 there wasG2258[G5713] noG3756 roomG5117 for themG846 inG1722 the innG2646. |
| [8]And there were shepherds in that region, who abode there and kept watch of their flocks by night. |
[8]AndG2532 there wereG2258[G5713] inG1722 the sameG846 countryG5561 shepherdsG4166 abiding in the fieldG63[G5723],[G2532] keepingG5442[G5723] watchG5438 overG1909 theirG846 flockG4167 by nightG3571. |
| [9]And lo, the angel of God came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone upon them: and they feared with great fear. |
[9]AndG2532, loG2400[G5628], the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186[G5627] themG846, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 shone round aboutG4034[G5656] themG846: andG2532 they were soreG3173 afraidG5399[G5675].[G5401] |
| [10]And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold I announce to you great joy, which will be to all the world. |
[10]AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036[G5627] unto themG846, FearG5399[G5737] notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400[G5628], I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097[G5731] of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071[G5704] to allG3956 peopleG2992. |
| [11]For there is born to you this day a deliverer, who is the Lord Messiah, in the city of David |
[11]ForG3754 unto youG5213 is bornG5088[G5681] this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG2076[G5748] ChristG5547 the LordG2962. |
| [12]And this is the sign for you: Ye will find the babe wrapped in bandages, and placed in a stall. |
[12]AndG2532 thisG5124 shall be a signG4592 unto youG5213; Ye shall findG2147[G5692] the babeG1025 wrapped in swaddling clothesG4683[G5772], lyingG2749[G5740] inG1722 a mangerG5336. |
| [13]And instantly there were seen with the angel, the many hosts of heaven, praising God, and saying: |
[13]AndG2532 suddenlyG1810 there wasG1096[G5633] withG4862 the angelG32 a multitudeG4128 of the heavenlyG3770 hostG4756 praisingG134[G5723] GodG2316, andG2532 G3004sayingG5723 |
| [14]Glory to God in the highest [heavens], and on earth peace and good hope for men. |
[14]GloryG1391 to GodG2316 inG1722 the highestG5310, andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 peaceG1515, good willG2107 towardG1722 menG444. |
| [15]And it was so, that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds conferred with one another, and said: Let us go down to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath occurred, as the Lord hath made known to us. |
[15]AndG2532 it came to passG1096[G5633], asG5613 the angelsG32 were gone awayG565[G5627] fromG575 themG846 intoG1519 heavenG3772,[G2532] the shepherdsG444[G4166] saidG2036[G5627] oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, Let usG1330 nowG1211 goG1330[G5632] even untoG2193 BethlehemG965, andG2532 seeG1492[G5632] thisG5124 thingG4487 which is come to passG1096[G5756], whichG3739[G3588] the LordG2962 hath made knownG1107[G5656] unto usG2254. |
| [16]And they came hastily, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe laid in the stall. |
[16]AndG2532 they cameG2064[G5627] with hasteG4692[G5660], andG2532[G5037] foundG429[G5627] MaryG3137, andG2532 JosephG2501, andG2532 the babeG1025 lyingG2749[G5740] inG1722 a mangerG5336. |
| [17]And when they saw, they made known the information which was given to them concerning the child. |
[17]AndG1161 when they had seenG1492[G5631] it, they made known abroadG1232[G5656] the sayingG4012[G4487] whichG3588 was toldG2980[G5685] themG846 concerningG4012 thisG5127 childG3813. |
| [18]And all that heard, wondered at the things that were told them by the shepherds. |
[18]AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191[G5660] it wonderedG2296[G5656] atG4012 those things whichG3588 were toldG2980[G5685] themG4314[G846] byG5259 the shepherdsG4166. |
| [19]And Mary laid up all these things, and pondered them in her heart. |
[19]ButG1161 MaryG3137 keptG4933[G5707] allG3956 these thingsG4487[G5023], and ponderedG4820[G5723] them inG1722 herG846 heartG2588. |
| [20]And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all that they had seen and heard, as it was told them. |
[20]AndG2532 the shepherdsG4166 returnedG1994[G5656], glorifyingG1392[G5723] andG2532 praisingG134[G5723] GodG2316 forG1909 all the thingsG3956 thatG3739 they had heardG191[G5656] andG2532 seenG1492[G5627], asG2531 it was toldG2980[G5681] untoG4314 themG846. |
| [21]And when the eight days for the circumcision of the child were completed, his name was called JESUS; as he was named by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb |
[21]AndG2532 whenG3753 eightG3638 daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130[G5681] for the circumcisingG4059[G5629] of the childG3813,[G2532] hisG846 nameG3686 was calledG2564[G5681] JESUSG2424, whichG3588 was so namedG2564[G5685] ofG5259 the angelG32 beforeG4253 heG846 was conceivedG4815[G5683] inG1722 the wombG2836. |
| [22]And when the days of their purification were completed, according to the law of Moses, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him before the Lord: |
[22]AndG2532 whenG3753 the daysG2250 of herG846 purificationG2512 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of MosesG3475 were accomplishedG4130[G5681], they broughtG321[G5627] himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, to presentG3936[G5658] him to the LordG2962; |
| [23](as it is written in the law of the Lord, that every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:) |
[23](AsG2531 it is writtenG1125[G5769] inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962,[G3754] EveryG3956 maleG730 that openethG1272[G5723] the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564[G5701] holyG40 to the LordG2962;) |
| [24]and to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons. |
[24]AndG2532 to offerG1325[G5629] a sacrificeG2378 accordingG2596 to that which is saidG2046[G5772] inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, A pairG2201 of turtledovesG5167, orG2228 twoG1417 youngG3502 pigeonsG4058. |
| [25]And there was a certain man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. This man was upright and just, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. |
[25]AndG2532, beholdG2400[G5628], there wasG2258[G5713] a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327[G5740] for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG2474: andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258[G5713] uponG1909 himG846. |
| [26]And it had been told him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he should see the Messiah of the Lord. |
[26]AndG2532 it wasG2258[G5713] revealedG5537[G5772] unto himG846 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492[G5629] deathG2288, beforeG4250[G2228] he had seenG1492[G5632] the Lord'sG2962 ChristG5547. |
| [27]This man came, by the Spirit, into the temple; and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him as is commanded in the law, |
[27]AndG2532 he cameG2064[G5627] byG1722 the SpiritG4151 intoG1519 the templeG2411: andG2532 when the parentsG1118 broughtG1521[G5629] inG1722 the childG3813 JesusG2424, to doG4160[G5658][G846] forG4012 himG846 afterG2596 the customG1480[G5772] of the lawG3551, |
| [28]he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said: |
[28]ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209[G5662] inG1519 hisG846 armsG43, andG2532 blessedG2127[G5656] GodG2316, andG2532 G2036saidG5627 |
| [29]My Lord, now release thou thy servant in peace, as thou hast said: |
[29]LordG1203, nowG3568 lettest thouG630 thyG4675 servantG1401 departG630[G5719] inG1722 peaceG1515, accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487: |
| [30]for lo, my eyes have seen thy mercy, |
[30]ForG3754 mineG3450 eyesG3788 have seenG1492[G5627] thyG4675 salvationG4992, |
| [31]which thou hast prepared in the presence of all nations, |
[31]WhichG3739 thou hast preparedG2090[G5656] beforeG2596 the faceG4383 of allG3956 peopleG2992; |
| [32]a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory for thy people Israel. |
[32]A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474. |
| [33]And Joseph and his mother were astonished at those things which were spoken concerning him. |
[33]AndG2532 JosephG2501 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 marvelledG2258[G5713][G2296][G5723] atG1909 those things which were spokenG2980[G5746] ofG4012 himG846. |
| [34]And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this [child] is set forth for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, and for a standard of contention; |
[34]AndG2532 SimeonG4826 blessedG2127[G5656] themG846, andG2532 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 MaryG3137 hisG846 motherG3384, BeholdG2400[G5628], thisG3778 child is setG2749[G5736] forG1519 the fallG4431 andG2532 rising againG386 of manyG4183 inG1722 IsraelG2474; andG2532 forG1519 a signG4592 G483which shall be spoken againstG5746 |
| [35](and also a dart will pierce thy own soul); that the thoughts of the hearts of many may be disclosed. |
[35](YeaG1161, a swordG4501 shall pierce throughG1330[G5695] thyG4675 ownG846 soulG5590 alsoG2532,) thatG3704 the thoughtsG1261 ofG1537 manyG4183 heartsG2588[G302] may be revealedG601.[G5686] |
| [36]And Hanna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she also was aged in days, and, from her maidenhood, had lived seven years with her husband, |
[36]AndG2532 there wasG2258[G5713] one AnnaG451, a prophetessG4398, the daughterG2364 of PhanuelG5323, ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of AserG768: sheG3778[G5625][G846] was of a greatG4183[G1722] ageG2250[G4260][G5761], and had livedG2198[G5660] withG3326 an husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 fromG575 herG846 virginityG3932; |
| [37]and was a widow of about eighty and four years, and departed not from the temple, but worshipped by day and by night with fasting and prayer ; |
[37]AndG2532 sheG3778 was a widowG5503 of aboutG5613 fourscoreG3589 and fourG5064 yearsG2094, whichG3739 departedG868[G5711] notG3756 fromG575 the templeG2411, but servedG3000[G5723] God with fastingsG3521 andG2532 prayersG1162 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250. |
| [38]and she too stood up, in that hour, and gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to every one that waited for the redemption of Jerusalem. |
[38]AndG2532 sheG3778[G5625][G846] coming inG2186[G5631] thatG846 instantG5610 gave thanks likewiseG437[G5711] unto the LordG2962, andG2532 spakeG2980[G5707] ofG4012 himG846 to allG3956 them that lookedG4327[G5740] for redemptionG3085 inG1722 JerusalemG2419. |
| [39]And when they had accomplished all things, according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city Nazareth. |
[39]AndG2532 whenG5613 they had performedG5055[G5656] all thingsG537 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, they returnedG5290[G5656] intoG1519 GalileeG1056, toG1519 their ownG846 cityG4172 NazarethG3478. |
| [40]And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and was filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. |
[40]AndG1161 the childG3813 grewG837[G5707], andG2532 waxed strongG2901[G5712] in spiritG4151, filledG4137[G5746] with wisdomG4678: andG2532 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 wasG2258[G5713] uponG1909 himG846. |
| [41]And his people went up to Jerusalem every year, at the feast of the passover. |
[41]NowG2532 hisG846 parentsG1118 wentG4198[G5711] toG1519 JerusalemG2419 everyG2596 yearG2094 at the feastG1859 of the passoverG3957. |
| [42]And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the feast, as they were accustomed. |
[42]AndG2532 whenG3753 he wasG1096[G5633] twelveG1427 years oldG2094, theyG846 went upG305[G5631] toG1519 JerusalemG2414 afterG2596 the customG1485 of the feastG1859. |
| [43]And when the days were completed, they returned: but the child Jesus remained at Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it]; |
[43]AndG2532 when they had fulfilledG5048[G5660] the daysG2250, asG1722 theyG846 returnedG5290[G5721], the childG3816 JesusG2424 tarried behindG5278[G5656] inG1722 JerusalemG2419; andG2532 JosephG2501 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 knewG1097[G5627] not of itG3756. |
| [44]for they supposed he was with his companions. And when they had travelled a day's journey, they sought him among their people, and [inquired] of every one that knew them. |
[44]ButG1161 they, supposingG3543[G5660] himG846 to have beenG1511[G5750] inG1722 the companyG4923, wentG2064[G5627] a day'sG2250 journeyG3598; andG2532 they soughtG327[G5707] himG846 amongG1722 their kinsfolkG4773 andG2532[G1722] acquaintanceG1110. |
| [45]And they did not find him. And they returned again to Jerusalem, searching for him. |
[45]AndG2532 when they foundG2147[G5631] himG846 notG3361, they turned back againG5290[G5656] toG1519 JerusalemG2419, seekingG2212[G5723] himG846. |
| [46]And after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, and listening to them, and asking them questions. |
[46]AndG2532 it came to passG1096[G5633], that afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147[G5627] himG846 inG1722 the templeG2411, sittingG2516[G5740] inG1722 the midstG3319 of the doctorsG1320, bothG2532 hearingG191[G5723] themG846, andG2532 askingG1905 themG846 questionsG1905.[G5723] |
| [47]And all they that heard him, were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. |
[47]AndG1161 allG3956 that heardG191[G5723] himG846 were astonishedG1839[G5710] atG1909 hisG846 understandingG4907 andG2532 answersG612. |
| [48]And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: My son, why hast thou done so to us? For lo, I and thy father have been seeking for thee with great anxiety. |
[48]AndG2532 when they sawG1492[G5631] himG846, they were amazedG1605[G5648]: andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 himG846, SonG5043, whyG5101 hast thouG4160 thusG3779 dealtG4160[G5656] with usG2254? beholdG2400[G5628], thyG4675 fatherG3962 and IG2504 have soughtG2212[G5707] theeG4571 sorrowingG3600.[G5746] |
| [49]He said to them: Why did ye seek me? Do ye not know, that it behooveth me to be in my Father's house? |
[49]AndG2532 he saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 themG846, HowG5101 is it thatG3754 ye soughtG2212[G5707] meG3165? wist yeG1492[G5715] notG3756 thatG3754 IG3165 mustG1163[G5748] beG1511[G5750] aboutG1722 myG3450 Father's businessG3962? |
| [50]But they did not comprehend the word that he spoke to them. |
[50]AndG2532 theyG846 understoodG4920[G5656] notG3756 the sayingG4487 whichG3739 he spakeG2980[G5656] unto themG846. |
| [51]And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother laid up all these things in her heart. |
[51]AndG2532 he went downG2597[G5627] withG3326 themG846, andG2532 cameG2064[G5627] toG1519 NazarethG3478, andG2532 wasG2258[G5713] subjectG5293[G5746] unto themG846: butG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 keptG1301[G5707] allG3956 theseG5023 sayingsG4487 inG1722 herG846 heartG2588. |
| [52]And Jesus increased in stature, and in wisdom, and in grace, before God and men. |
[52]AndG2532 JesusG2424 increasedG4298[G5707] in wisdomG4678 andG2532 statureG2244, andG2532 in favourG5485 withG3844 GodG2316 andG2532 manG444. |
