耶穌降生
2 當那些日子,愷撒奧古斯都有旨意下來,叫天下人民都報名上冊。 2 這是居里扭做敘利亞巡撫的時候,頭一次行報名上冊的事。 3 眾人各歸各城,報名上冊。 4 約瑟也從加利利的拿撒勒城上猶太去,到了大衛的城,名叫伯利恆,因他本是大衛一族一家的人, 5 要和他所聘之妻馬利亞一同報名上冊。那時馬利亞的身孕已經重了。 6 他們在那裡的時候,馬利亞的產期到了, 7 就生了頭胎的兒子,用布包起來,放在馬槽裡,因為客店裡沒有地方。
天使報喜信給牧羊的人
8 在伯利恆之野地裡有牧羊的人,夜間按著更次看守羊群。 9 有主的使者站在他們旁邊,主的榮光四面照著他們,牧羊的人就甚懼怕。 10 那天使對他們說:「不要懼怕,我報給你們大喜的信息,是關乎萬民的。 11 因今天在大衛的城裡,為你們生了救主,就是主基督。 12 你們要看見一個嬰孩,包著布,臥在馬槽裡,那就是記號了。」 13 忽然有一大隊天兵,同那天使讚美神說: 14 「在至高之處榮耀歸於神!在地上平安歸於他所喜悅的人[a]!」
15 眾天使離開他們升天去了,牧羊的人彼此說:「我們往伯利恆去,看看所成的事,就是主所指示我們的。」 16 他們急忙去了,就尋見馬利亞和約瑟,又有那嬰孩臥在馬槽裡。 17 既然看見,就把天使論這孩子的話傳開了。 18 凡聽見的,就詫異牧羊之人對他們所說的話。 19 馬利亞卻把這一切的事存在心裡,反覆思想。 20 牧羊的人回去了,因所聽見、所看見的一切事正如天使向他們所說的,就歸榮耀於神,讚美他。
21 滿了八天,就給孩子行割禮,與他起名叫耶穌,這就是沒有成胎以前天使所起的名。
獻頭生子於主
22 按摩西律法滿了潔淨的日子,他們帶著孩子上耶路撒冷去,要把他獻於主, 23 正如主的律法上所記:「凡頭生的男子,必稱聖歸主。」 24 又要照主的律法上所說,「或用一對斑鳩,或用兩隻雛鴿」獻祭。
西面見嬰孩願安然去世
25 在耶路撒冷有一個人名叫西面,這人又公義又虔誠,素常盼望以色列的安慰者來到,又有聖靈在他身上。 26 他得了聖靈的啟示,知道自己未死以前,必看見主所立的基督。 27 他受了聖靈的感動,進入聖殿,正遇見耶穌的父母抱著孩子進來,要照律法的規矩辦理。 28 西面就用手接過他來,稱頌神,說: 29 「主啊,如今可以照你的話,釋放僕人安然去世! 30 因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩, 31 就是你在萬民面前所預備的, 32 是照亮外邦人的光,又是你民以色列的榮耀。」 33 孩子的父母因這論耶穌的話就稀奇。 34 西面給他們祝福,又對孩子的母親馬利亞說:「這孩子被立,是要叫以色列中許多人跌倒、許多人興起,又要做毀謗的話柄, 35 叫許多人心裡的意念顯露出來。你自己的心也要被刀刺透。」
女先知亞拿稱謝神
36 又有女先知名叫亞拿,是亞設支派法內力的女兒,年紀已經老邁,從做童女出嫁的時候,同丈夫住了七年就寡居了, 37 現在已經八十四歲[b],並不離開聖殿,禁食、祈求,晝夜侍奉神。 38 正當那時,她進前來稱謝神,將孩子的事對一切盼望耶路撒冷得救贖的人講說。 39 約瑟和馬利亞照主的律法辦完了一切的事,就回加利利,到自己的城拿撒勒去了。
40 孩子漸漸長大,強健起來,充滿智慧,又有神的恩在他身上。
孩童耶穌在聖殿聽道
41 每年到逾越節,他父母就上耶路撒冷去。 42 當他十二歲的時候,他們按著節期的規矩上去。 43 守滿了節期,他們回去,孩童耶穌仍舊在耶路撒冷,他的父母並不知道, 44 以為他在同行的人中間。走了一天的路程,就在親族和熟識的人中找他, 45 既找不著,就回耶路撒冷去找他。 46 過了三天,就遇見他在殿裡,坐在教師中間,一面聽一面問。
順從父母
47 凡聽見他的,都稀奇他的聰明和他的應對。 48 他父母看見就很稀奇。他母親對他說:「我兒,為什麼向我們這樣行呢?看哪,你父親和我傷心來找你!」 49 耶穌說:「為什麼找我呢?豈不知我應當以我父的事為念嗎?[c]」 50 他所說的這話,他們不明白。 51 他就同他們下去,回到拿撒勒,並且順從他們。他母親把這一切的事都存在心裡。
52 耶穌的智慧和身量[d],並神和人喜愛他的心,都一齊增長。

耶稣降生伯利恒
2 那时,凯撒奥古斯都颁下谕旨,命罗马帝国的人民都办理户口登记。 2 这是第一次户口登记,正值居里纽任叙利亚总督。 3 大家都回到本乡办理户口登记。 4 约瑟因为是大卫家族的人,就从加利利的拿撒勒镇赶到犹太地区大卫的故乡伯利恒, 5 要和已许配给他、怀着身孕的玛丽亚一起登记。 6 他们抵达目的地时,玛丽亚产期到了, 7 便生下第一胎,是个儿子。她用布把孩子裹好,安放在马槽里,因为旅店没有房间了。
牧羊人和天使
8 当晚,伯利恒郊外有一群牧羊人正在看守羊群。 9 忽然,主的天使向他们显现,主的荣光四面照着他们,他们非常害怕。 10 天使对他们说:“不要怕!我告诉你们一个有关万民的大喜讯, 11 今天在大卫的城里有一位救主为你们降生了,祂就是主基督! 12 你们将看见一个婴孩包着布躺在马槽里,这就是给你们的记号。”
13 忽然,有一大队天军出现,与那天使一同赞美上帝说:
14 “在至高之处,
愿荣耀归于上帝!
在地上,
愿平安临到祂所喜悦的人!”
15 众天使离开他们升回天上之后,牧羊人便商议说:“我们现在去伯利恒,察看一下主刚才告诉我们的那件事吧!” 16 他们就连忙进城,找到了玛丽亚和约瑟以及躺在马槽里的婴孩。 17 他们看过之后,就把天使告诉他们有关这婴孩的事传开了。 18 听见的人都对牧羊人的话感到惊讶。
19 但玛丽亚把这些事牢记在心里,反复思想。 20 牧羊人在归途中不断地将荣耀归于上帝,赞美祂,因为他们的所见所闻跟天使告诉他们的一样。
奉献圣婴
21 在第八天,婴孩接受了割礼,祂的名字叫耶稣,是玛丽亚怀孕前天使取的。
22 摩西律法规定的洁净期满后,约瑟和玛丽亚把婴孩带到耶路撒冷去献给主, 23 因为主的律法规定:必须把长子分别出来献给主。 24 他们又按照主的律法献上祭物,即一对斑鸠或两只雏鸽。 25 耶路撒冷有一位公义敬虔、有圣灵同在的人名叫希缅,他一直期待着以色列的安慰者到来。 26 圣灵曾启示他:他去世前必能亲眼看见主所立的基督。
27 一天,他受圣灵感动进入圣殿,看见约瑟和玛丽亚抱着婴孩耶稣进来,要依照律法的规定为祂行奉献礼, 28 就把祂抱过来,称颂上帝说:
29 “主啊,现在你的话已经成就,
可以让你的奴仆安然离世了,
30 因为我已亲眼看到你的救恩,
31 就是你为万民所预备的救恩。
32 这救恩是启示外族人的光,
也是你以色列子民的荣耀。”
33 约瑟和玛丽亚听见这番话,感到惊奇。 34 希缅给他们祝福后,就对孩子的母亲玛丽亚说:“看啊,这孩子必使以色列许多人跌倒、许多人兴起。祂将成为众人攻击的对象, 35 好叫许多人的心思意念暴露出来,你自己则会心如刀割。”
36-37 亚设支派中有一位八十四岁高龄的女先知名叫亚拿,是法内利的女儿,婚后七年便开始守寡,之后一直住在圣殿里,禁食祷告,日夜事奉上帝。 38 正在那时,她也前来感谢上帝,并把耶稣的事报告给所有盼望耶路撒冷蒙救赎的人。
39 约瑟和玛丽亚办完了主的律法规定的一切事之后,就回到他们的家乡——加利利的拿撒勒。 40 耶稣渐渐长大,身心强健,充满智慧,上帝的恩典与祂同在。
少年耶稣圣殿论道
41 约瑟和玛丽亚每年都上耶路撒冷去过逾越节。 42 耶稣十二岁那年,跟父母照例上去过节。 43 节期完了,约瑟和玛丽亚便启程回家,他们并不知道少年耶稣仍然留在耶路撒冷, 44 还以为祂跟在同行的人中间。他们走了一天的路后,才开始在亲戚朋友中找祂, 45 结果没有找到,只好回到耶路撒冷。 46 三天后,他们才在圣殿里找到耶稣,祂正和教师们坐在一起,一边听一边问问题。 47 祂的知识和对答令听见的人感到惊奇。 48 约瑟和玛丽亚看见耶稣在那里,大为惊奇。
玛丽亚对祂说:“儿子,你为什么这样对我们呢?你父亲和我急得到处找你!”
49 耶稣对他们说:“你们为什么找我呢?难道你们不知道我应该在我父的家吗?” 50 但他们不明白祂在讲什么。
51 于是,耶稣随父母回到拿撒勒,并顺从他们。玛丽亚把这一切事牢记在心。 52 耶稣渐渐长大,智慧与日俱增,越来越受上帝和人们的喜爱。
Luke 2
King James Version
2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
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:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
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.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
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.
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.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
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.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
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.
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
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.
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.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
