LUK1.htm LUK3.htm2:1 And [G1161] it came to pass [G1096] in [G1722] those [G1565] days [G2250] , that there went out [G1831] a decree [G1378] from [G3844] Caesar [G2541] Augustus [G828] , that all [G3956] the world [G3625] should be taxed [G583] .(taxed: or, enrolled)
2:2 ([And] this [G3778] taxing [G582] was [G1096] first [G4413] made [G1096] when Cyrenius [G2958] was governor [G2230] of Syria [G4947] .)
2:3 And [G2532] all [G3956] went [G4198] to be taxed [G583] , every one [G1538] into [G1519] his own [G2398] city [G4172] .
2:4 And [G1161] Joseph [G2501] also [G2532] went up [G305] from [G575] Galilee [G1056] , out of [G1537] the city [G4172] of Nazareth [G3478] , into [G1519] Judaea [G2449] , unto [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] lineage [G3965] of David [G1138] :)
2:5 To be taxed [G583] with [G4862] Mary [G3137] his [G846] espoused [G3423] wife [G1135] , being [G5607] great with child [G1471] .
2:6 And [G1161] so it was [G1096] , that, while [G1722] they [G846] were [G1511] there [G1563] , the days [G2250] were accomplished [G4130] that she [G846] should be delivered [G5088] .
2:7 And [G2532] she brought forth [G5088] her [G846] firstborn [G4416] son [G5207] , and [G2532] 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] .
2:8 And [G2532] there were [G2258] in [G1722] the same [G846] country [G5561] shepherds [G4166] abiding in the field [G63] , [G2532] keeping [G5442] watch [G5438] over [G1909] their [G846] flock [G4167] by night [G3571] .(watch: or, the night watches)
2:9 And [G2532] , lo [G2400] , the angel [G32] of the Lord [G2962] came upon [G2186] them [G846] , and [G2532] the glory [G1391] of the Lord [G2962] shone round about [G4034] them [G846] : and [G2532] they were sore [G3173] afraid [G5399] [G5401] .
2:10 And [G2532] the angel [G32] said [G2036] unto them [G846] , Fear [G5399] not [G3361] : for [G1063] , behold [G2400] , I bring [G2097] you [G5213] good tidings [G2097] of great [G3173] joy [G5479] , which [G3748] shall be [G2071] to all [G3956] people [G2992] .
2:11 For [G3754] unto you [G5213] is born [G5088] this day [G4594] in [G1722] the city [G4172] of David [G1138] a Saviour [G4990] , which [G3739] is [G2076] Christ [G5547] the Lord [G2962] .
2:12 And [G2532] this [G5124] [shall be] a sign [G4592] unto you [G5213] ; Ye shall find [G2147] the babe [G1025] wrapped in swaddling clothes [G4683] , lying [G2749] in [G1722] a manger [G5336] .
2:13 And [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] ,
2:14 Glory [G1391] to God [G2316] in [G1722] the highest [G5310] , and [G2532] on [G1909] earth [G1093] peace [G1515] , good will [G2107] toward [G1722] men [G444] .
2:15 And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] , as [G5613] the angels [G32] were gone away [G565] from [G575] them [G846] into [G1519] heaven [G3772] , [G2532] the shepherds [G444] [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] which is come to pass [G1096] , which [G3739] [G3588] the Lord [G2962] hath made known [G1107] unto us [G2254] .(the shepherds: Gr. the men the shepherds)
2:16 And [G2532] they came [G2064] with haste [G4692] , and [G2532] [G5037] found [G429] Mary [G3137] , and [G2532] Joseph [G2501] , and [G2532] the babe [G1025] lying [G2749] in [G1722] a manger [G5336] .
2:17 And [G1161] when they had seen [G1492] [it], they made known abroad [G1232] the saying [G4012] [G4487] which [G3588] was told [G2980] them [G846] concerning [G4012] this [G5127] child [G3813] .
2:18 And [G2532] all [G3956] they that heard [G191] [it] wondered [G2296] at [G4012] those things which [G3588] were told [G2980] them [G4314] [G846] by [G5259] the shepherds [G4166] .
2:19 But [G1161] Mary [G3137] kept [G4933] all [G3956] these things [G4487] [G5023] , and pondered [G4820] [them] in [G1722] her [G846] heart [G2588] .
2:20 And [G2532] the shepherds [G4166] returned [G1994] , glorifying [G1392] and [G2532] praising [G134] God [G2316] for [G1909] all the things [G3956] that [G3739] they had heard [G191] and [G2532] seen [G1492] , as [G2531] it was told [G2980] unto [G4314] them [G846] .
2:21 And [G2532] when [G3753] eight [G3638] days [G2250] were accomplished [G4130] for the circumcising [G4059] of the child [G3813] , [G2532] his [G846] name [G3686] was called [G2564] JESUS [G2424] , which [G3588] was so named [G2564] of [G5259] the angel [G32] before [G4253] he [G846] was conceived [G4815] in [G1722] the womb [G2836] .
2:22 And [G2532] when [G3753] the days [G2250] of her [G846] purification [G2512] according [G2596] to the law [G3551] of Moses [G3475] were accomplished [G4130] , they brought [G321] him [G846] to [G1519] Jerusalem [G2414] , to present [G3936] [him] to the Lord [G2962] ;
2:23 (As [G2531] it is written [G1125] in [G1722] the law [G3551] of the Lord [G2962] , [G3754] Every [G3956] male [G730] that openeth [G1272] the womb [G3388] shall be called [G2564] holy [G40] to the Lord [G2962] ;)
2:24 And [G2532] to offer [G1325] a sacrifice [G2378] according [G2596] to 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] .
2:25 And [G2532] , behold [G2400] , there was [G2258] a man [G444] in [G1722] Jerusalem [G2419] , whose [G3739] name [G3686] [was] Simeon [G4826] ; and [G2532] the same [G3778] man [G444] [was] just [G1342] and [G2532] devout [G2126] , waiting [G4327] for the consolation [G3874] of Israel [G2474] : and [G2532] the Holy [G40] Ghost [G4151] was [G2258] upon [G1909] him [G846] .
2:26 And [G2532] it was [G2258] revealed [G5537] unto him [G846] by [G5259] the Holy [G40] Ghost [G4151] , that he should [G1492] not [G3361] see [G1492] death [G2288] , before [G4250] [G2228] he had seen [G1492] the Lord's [G2962] Christ [G5547] .
2:27 And [G2532] he came [G2064] by [G1722] the Spirit [G4151] into [G1519] the temple [G2411] : and [G2532] when the parents [G1118] brought [G1521] in [G1722] the child [G3813] Jesus [G2424] , to do [G4160] [G846] for [G4012] him [G846] after [G2596] the custom [G1480] of the law [G3551] ,
2:28 Then [G2532] took [G1209] he [G846] him [G846] up [G1209] in [G1519] his [G846] arms [G43] , and [G2532] blessed [G2127] God [G2316] , and [G2532] said [G2036] ,
2:29 Lord [G1203] , now [G3568] lettest thou [G630] thy [G4675] servant [G1401] depart [G630] in [G1722] peace [G1515] , according [G2596] to thy [G4675] word [G4487] :
2:30 For [G3754] mine [G3450] eyes [G3788] have seen [G1492] thy [G4675] salvation [G4992] ,
2:31 Which [G3739] thou hast prepared [G2090] before [G2596] the face [G4383] of all [G3956] people [G2992] ;
2:32 A light [G5457] to [G1519] lighten [G602] the Gentiles [G1484] , and [G2532] the glory [G1391] of thy [G4675] people [G2992] Israel [G2474] .
2:33 And [G2532] Joseph [G2501] and [G2532] his [G846] mother [G3384] marvelled [G2258] [G2296] at [G1909] those things which were spoken [G2980] of [G4012] him [G846] .
2:34 And [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 fall [G4431] and [G2532] rising again [G386] of many [G4183] in [G1722] Israel [G2474] ; and [G2532] for [G1519] a sign [G4592] which shall be spoken against [G483] ;
2:35 (Yea [G1161] , a sword [G4501] shall pierce through [G1330] thy [G4675] own [G846] soul [G5590] also [G2532] ,) that [G3704] the thoughts [G1261] of [G1537] many [G4183] hearts [G2588] [G302] may be revealed [G601] .
2:36 And [G2532] there was [G2258] one Anna [G451] , a prophetess [G4398] , the daughter [G2364] of Phanuel [G5323] , of [G1537] the tribe [G5443] of Aser [G768] : she [G3778] [G846] was of a great [G4183] [G1722] age [G2250] [G4260] , and had lived [G2198] with [G3326] an husband [G435] seven [G2033] years [G2094] from [G575] her [G846] virginity [G3932] ;
2:37 And [G2532] she [G3778] [was] a widow [G5503] of about [G5613] fourscore [G3589] and four [G5064] years [G2094] , which [G3739] departed [G868] not [G3756] from [G575] the temple [G2411] , but served [G3000] [God] with fastings [G3521] and [G2532] prayers [G1162] night [G3571] and [G2532] day [G2250] .
2:38 And [G2532] she [G3778] [G846] coming in [G2186] that [G846] instant [G5610] gave thanks likewise [G437] unto the Lord [G2962] , and [G2532] spake [G2980] of [G4012] him [G846] to all [G3956] them that looked [G4327] for redemption [G3085] in [G1722] Jerusalem [G2419] .(Jerusalem: or, Israel)
2:39 And [G2532] when [G5613] they had performed [G5055] all things [G537] according [G2596] to the law [G3551] of the Lord [G2962] , they returned [G5290] into [G1519] Galilee [G1056] , to [G1519] their own [G846] city [G4172] Nazareth [G3478] .
2:40 And [G1161] the child [G3813] grew [G837] , and [G2532] waxed strong [G2901] in spirit [G4151] , filled [G4137] with wisdom [G4678] : and [G2532] the grace [G5485] of God [G2316] was [G2258] upon [G1909] him [G846] .
2:41 Now [G2532] his [G846] parents [G1118] went [G4198] to [G1519] Jerusalem [G2419] every [G2596] year [G2094] at the feast [G1859] of the passover [G3957] .
2:42 And [G2532] when [G3753] he was [G1096] twelve [G1427] years old [G2094] , they [G846] went up [G305] to [G1519] Jerusalem [G2414] after [G2596] the custom [G1485] of the feast [G1859] .
2:43 And [G2532] when they had fulfilled [G5048] the days [G2250] , as [G1722] they [G846] returned [G5290] , the child [G3816] Jesus [G2424] tarried behind [G5278] in [G1722] Jerusalem [G2419] ; and [G2532] Joseph [G2501] and [G2532] his [G846] mother [G3384] knew [G1097] not [G3756] [of it].
2:44 But [G1161] they, supposing [G3543] him [G846] to have been [G1511] in [G1722] the company [G4923] , went [G2064] a day's [G2250] journey [G3598] ; and [G2532] they sought [G327] him [G846] among [G1722] [their] kinsfolk [G4773] and [G2532] [G1722] acquaintance [G1110] .
2:45 And [G2532] when they found [G2147] him [G846] not [G3361] , they turned back again [G5290] to [G1519] Jerusalem [G2419] , seeking [G2212] him [G846] .
2:46 And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] , that 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 doctors [G1320] , both [G2532] hearing [G191] them [G846] , and [G2532] asking [G1905] them [G846] questions [G1905] .
2:47 And [G1161] all [G3956] that heard [G191] him [G846] were astonished [G1839] at [G1909] his [G846] understanding [G4907] and [G2532] answers [G612] .
2:48 And [G2532] when they saw [G1492] him [G846] , they were amazed [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] have sought [G2212] thee [G4571] sorrowing [G3600] .
2:49 And [G2532] he said [G2036] unto [G4314] them [G846] , How [G5101] is it that [G3754] ye sought [G2212] me [G3165] ? wist ye [G1492] not [G3756] that [G3754] I [G3165] must [G1163] be [G1511] about [G1722] my [G3450] Father's business [G3962] ?
2:50 And [G2532] they [G846] understood [G4920] not [G3756] the saying [G4487] which [G3739] he spake [G2980] unto them [G846] .
2:51 And [G2532] he went down [G2597] with [G3326] them [G846] , and [G2532] came [G2064] to [G1519] Nazareth [G3478] , and [G2532] was [G2258] subject [G5293] unto them [G846] : but [G2532] his [G846] mother [G3384] kept [G1301] all [G3956] these [G5023] sayings [G4487] in [G1722] her [G846] heart [G2588] .
2:52 And [G2532] Jesus [G2424] increased [G4298] in wisdom [G4678] and [G2532] stature [G2244] , and [G2532] in favour [G5485] with [G3844] God [G2316] and [G2532] man [G444] .(stature: or, age)
