Nacimiento de Jesús(A)
2 Por aquel tiempo, el emperador Augusto ordenó que se hiciera un censo de todo el mundo. 2 Este primer censo fue hecho siendo Quirinio gobernador de Siria. 3 Todos tenían que ir a inscribirse a su propio pueblo.
4 Por esto, José salió del pueblo de Nazaret, de la región de Galilea, y se fue a Belén, en Judea, donde había nacido el rey David, porque José era descendiente de David. 5 Fue allá a inscribirse, junto con María, su esposa, que se encontraba encinta. 6 Y sucedió que mientras estaban en Belén, le llegó a María el tiempo de dar a luz. 7 Y allí nació su hijo primogénito, y lo envolvió en pañales y lo acostó en el establo, porque no había alojamiento para ellos en el mesón.
Los ángeles y los pastores
8 Cerca de Belén había unos pastores que pasaban la noche en el campo cuidando sus ovejas. 9 De pronto se les apareció un ángel del Señor, y la gloria del Señor brilló alrededor de ellos; y tuvieron mucho miedo. 10 Pero el ángel les dijo: «No tengan miedo, porque les traigo una buena noticia, que será motivo de gran alegría para todos: 11 Hoy les ha nacido en el pueblo de David un salvador, que es el Mesías, el Señor. 12 Como señal, encontrarán ustedes al niño envuelto en pañales y acostado en un establo.»
13 En aquel momento aparecieron, junto al ángel, muchos otros ángeles del cielo, que alababan a Dios y decían:
14 «¡Gloria a Dios en las alturas!
¡Paz en la tierra entre los hombres que gozan de su favor!»
15 Cuando los ángeles se volvieron al cielo, los pastores comenzaron a decirse unos a otros:
—Vamos, pues, a Belén, a ver esto que ha sucedido y que el Señor nos ha anunciado.
16 Fueron de prisa y encontraron a María y a José, y al niño acostado en el establo. 17 Cuando lo vieron, se pusieron a contar lo que el ángel les había dicho acerca del niño, 18 y todos los que lo oyeron se admiraban de lo que decían los pastores. 19 María guardaba todo esto en su corazón, y lo tenía muy presente. 20 Los pastores, por su parte, regresaron dando gloria y alabanza a Dios por todo lo que habían visto y oído, pues todo sucedió como se les había dicho.
El niño Jesús es presentado en el templo
21 A los ocho días circuncidaron al niño, y le pusieron por nombre Jesús, el mismo nombre que el ángel le había dicho a María antes que ella estuviera encinta.
22 Cuando se cumplieron los días en que ellos debían purificarse según la ley de Moisés, llevaron al niño a Jerusalén para presentárselo al Señor. 23 Lo hicieron así porque en la ley del Señor está escrito: «Todo primer hijo varón será consagrado al Señor.» 24 Fueron, pues, a ofrecer en sacrificio lo que manda la ley del Señor: un par de tórtolas o dos pichones de paloma.
25 En aquel tiempo vivía en Jerusalén un hombre que se llamaba Simeón. Era un hombre justo y piadoso, que esperaba la restauración de Israel. El Espíritu Santo estaba con Simeón, 26 y le había hecho saber que no moriría sin ver antes al Mesías, a quien el Señor enviaría. 27 Guiado por el Espíritu Santo, Simeón fue al templo; y cuando los padres del niño Jesús lo llevaron también a él, para cumplir con lo que la ley ordenaba, 28 Simeón lo tomó en brazos y alabó a Dios, diciendo:
29 «Ahora, Señor, tu promesa está cumplida:
puedes dejar que tu siervo muera en paz.
30 Porque ya he visto la salvación
31 que has comenzado a realizar
a la vista de todos los pueblos,
32 la luz que alumbrará a las naciones
y que será la gloria de tu pueblo Israel.»
33 El padre y la madre de Jesús se quedaron admirados al oír lo que Simeón decía del niño. 34 Entonces Simeón les dio su bendición, y dijo a María, la madre de Jesús:
—Mira, este niño está destinado a hacer que muchos en Israel caigan o se levanten. Él será una señal que muchos rechazarán, 35 a fin de que las intenciones de muchos corazones queden al descubierto. Pero todo esto va a ser para ti como una espada que atraviese tu propia alma.
36 También estaba allí una profetisa llamada Ana, hija de Penuel, de la tribu de Aser. Era ya muy anciana. Se casó siendo muy joven, y había vivido con su marido siete años; 37 hacía ya ochenta y cuatro años que se había quedado viuda. Nunca salía del templo, sino que servía día y noche al Señor, con ayunos y oraciones. 38 Ana se presentó en aquel mismo momento, y comenzó a dar gracias a Dios y a hablar del niño Jesús a todos los que esperaban la liberación de Jerusalén.
El regreso a Nazaret
39 Después de haber cumplido con todo lo que manda la ley del Señor, volvieron a Galilea, a su propio pueblo de Nazaret. 40 Y el niño crecía y se hacía más fuerte, estaba lleno de sabiduría y gozaba del favor de Dios.
El niño Jesús es hallado en el templo
41 Los padres de Jesús iban todos los años a Jerusalén para la fiesta de la Pascua. 42 Y así, cuando Jesús cumplió doce años, fueron allá todos ellos, como era costumbre en esa fiesta. 43 Pero pasados aquellos días, cuando volvían a casa, el niño Jesús se quedó en Jerusalén, sin que sus padres se dieran cuenta. 44 Pensando que Jesús iba entre la gente, hicieron un día de camino; pero luego, al buscarlo entre los parientes y conocidos, 45 no lo encontraron. Así que regresaron a Jerusalén para buscarlo allí.
46 Al cabo de tres días lo encontraron en el templo, sentado entre los maestros de la ley, escuchándolos y haciéndoles preguntas. 47 Y todos los que lo oían se admiraban de su inteligencia y de sus respuestas. 48 Cuando sus padres lo vieron, se sorprendieron; y su madre le dijo:
—Hijo mío, ¿por qué nos has hecho esto? Tu padre y yo te hemos estado buscando llenos de angustia.
49 Jesús les contestó:
—¿Por qué me buscaban? ¿No sabían que tengo que estar en la casa de mi Padre?
50 Pero ellos no entendieron lo que les decía.
51 Entonces volvió con ellos a Nazaret, donde vivió obedeciéndolos en todo. Su madre guardaba todo esto en su corazón. 52 Y Jesús seguía creciendo en sabiduría y estatura, y gozaba del favor de Dios y de los hombres.
Luke 2
King James Version
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.

Nesans Mesi a
(Mat 1:18-25)
2 Nan menm peryòd sa a, Seza Ogis ki te wa nan lavil Wòm te pase lòd pou yo fè yon gran resansman nan tout peyi ki fè pati teritwa li t ap dirije a. 2 Premye gran resansman sa a te fèt nan epòk lè Kiriniyis te gouvènè nan lavil Siri. 3 Tout moun te oblije vwayaje ale nan vil kote yo te fèt pou yo te ka mete non yo sou lis resansman an.
4 Konsa, Jozèf te oblije kite Nazarèt tou, ti vil nan rejyon Galile a, pou l te ale nan rejyon Jide, nan yon lòt ti vil ki rele Bètleyèm, lavil wa David la. Se la Jozèf te oblije ale pou resanse, paske li te soti nan branch fanmi David. 5 Jozèf ak Mari te resanse ansanm nan menm kote a, paske yo te gentan fiyanse. Lè sa a, Mari te gentan ansent. 6 Pandan Jozèf ak Mari te nan lavil Bètleyèm pou resansman an, lè a te rive pou Mari akouche. 7 Mari akouche premye pitit gason li. Li vlope l byen vlope epi li mete l kouche nan yon kote yo konn bay bèt manje. Li te mete pitit la kouche la paske pa t gen plas ankò nan otèl[a] la.
Nouvèl nesans Mesi a rive jwenn kèk bèje
8 Nan menm nuit sa a, yon bann bèje te nan raje a toupre lavil Bètleyèm ap veye mouton yo. 9 Sanzatann konsa, yon anj Senyè a parèt sou yo epi laglwa Senyè a, tankou yon gwo limyè, te klere tout kote yo te ye a. Bèje yo te pran tranble, tèlman yo te pè. 10 Zanj lan di yo konsa: “Nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen vin anonse nou yon bòn nouvèl, sa pral pote lajwa pou tout pèp Izrayèl la. 11 Jodi a menm, Sovè nou an fèt nan lavil David la. Se li menm Senye, Mesi[b] yo k ap delivre nou anba tout tray nou yo. 12 Men ki siy k ap fè nou rekonèt li: N ap jwenn yon ti bebe byen vlope epi kouche nan yon bwat an planch kote yo konn bay bèt manje.”
13 Menm lè a, yon foul lòt anj nan syèl la, tankou yon lame, vin jwenn ak anj lan, epi yo t ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t ap di:
14 “Lwanj pou Bondye nan syèl la,
epi kè poze sou latè pou tout moun
ki fè Bondye plezi.”
15 Apre sa, anj yo kite bèje yo, yo retounen nan syèl la. Lè sa a, bèje yo te pale youn ak lòt, yo te di: “Ann ale lavil Bètleyèm pou n al wè gwo evènman sa a Senyè a fè nou konnen an.”
16 Konsa, yo kouri ale epi yo te jwenn Mari ak Jozèf ansanm ak ti bebe a ki te kouche nan bwat an planch kote bèt yo te konn manje a. 17 Lè bèje yo te wè ti bebe a, yo te rakonte sa anj lan te di yo de li a. 18 Tout moun ki t ap koute yo te sezi tande sa bèje yo te di yo. 19 Mari menm te kenbe bagay sa yo nan tèt li. Li pa t sispann reflechi sou yo. 20 Bèje yo te retounen kote mouton yo te ye a, yo t ap fè lwanj Bondye epi yo t ap remèsye li pou tout sa yo te wè ak sa yo te tande. Tout bagay yo te egzakteman jan anj lan te di yo a.
21 Lè ti bebe a te gen uit jou, yo te sikonsi li, epi yo te ba l non Jezi. Se non sa a anj lan te bay depi menm anvan Mari te ansent pitit la.
Yo prezante Jezi nan tanp lan
22 Lè lè a te rive pou Mari ak Jozèf te fè sa Lalwa Moyiz la te anseye sou koze pirifikasyon[c] yo, yo mennen Jezi Jerizalèm pou yo te ka prezante l bay Senyè a. 23 Dapre sa ki ekri nan Lalwa Senyè a: “Tout premye pitit gason ki fèt, y a mete yo apa pou Senyè a.”[d] 24 Yo te ofri de toutrèl osinon de jèn pijon an sakrifis,[e] dapre sa Lalwa Senyè a te egzije tou.
Simeyon wè Mesi a
25 Vwala te gen yon nonm ki te rele Simeyon ti t ap viv nan Jerizalèm. Se te yon nonm ki te viv lavi l byen selon volonte Bondye epi li te gen krentif pou Li tou. Li t ap veye ki lè pou Mesi a te parèt vin delivre Izrayèl. Senyè a te avèk Simeyon. 26 Sentespri a te fè l konnen l ap wè Mesi a anvan l mouri. 27 Sentespri a pouse Simeyon ale nan tan plan. Konsa, li te la lè Mari ak Jozèf te mennen ti pitit la vini pou yo fè sa Lalwa Jwif yo te egzije. 28 Simeyon pran ti pitit la, li kenbe li. Li beni non Bondye. Li di:
29 “Kounye a, Senyè, ou mèt kite sèvitè ou mouri nan lapè,
jan ou te pwomèt mwen an.
30 Paske mwen wè ak pwòp je mwen sa ou ap fè pou delivre pèp ou a.
31 Ou prepare l mete devan je tout pèp yo.
32 Li se yon limyè k ap klere pou montre chemen w lan devan nasyon moun ki pa Jwif yo.
Se li menm tou k ap fè lonè Izrayèl, pèp ou a.”
33 Papa Jezi ansanm ak manman l te sezi tande bagay Simeyon t ap di de li yo. 34 Apre sa, Simeyon beni yo epi li di Mari konsa: “Gade non, ou wè ti pitit sa a, l ap lakòz anpil moun tonbe, men, l ap lakòz anpil lòt moun leve tou nan pami pèp Izrayèl la. Bondye ap sèvi ak li pou avèti moun konsènan sa k pral rive nan tan k ap vini yo. Men anpil moun ap kanpe an kwa devan l. 35 Konsa, l ap devwale sekrè ki kache nan kè anpil moun. Kanta pou ou menm, sa k gen pou rive ti pitit sa a ap fè w soufri anpil, se kòmsi se yon kouto ki t ap fann kè w.”
Àn wè Mesi a
36 Te gen yon fi ki te pwofèt yo te rele Àn. Li te rete nan tanp lan. Àn te soti nan fanmi Fanyèl, ki li menm te soti nan tribi Azè. Li te gentan vye granmoun. Se yon fi ki te sèlman gen chans viv setan avèk mari li anvan mari li te mouri. 37 Apre sa, li rete vèv jouktan li te gen katrevenkat ane. Àn te toujou nan tanp lan, li pa t janm deplase. Li te sèvi Bondye lajounen tankou lannuit. Li te toujou ap jene epi priye.
38 Nan menm lè sa a, Àn pwoche bò kote yo, li kòmanse fè lwanj Bondye epi li t ap pale de Jezi ak tout moun ki t ap tann ki lè pou Bondye te vin delivre Jerizalèm.
Jozèf ak Mari retounen lakay yo
39 Lè Jozèf ak Mari te fin fè tout sa Lalwa Senyè a te egzije pou yo fè, yo te retounen lakay yo nan Nazarèt, ti vil kote yo te rete a, nan Galile. 40 Jezi li menm t ap grandi epi li t ap devlope. Li te ranpli ak sajès epi gras Bondye te sou li.
Jezi antan yon ti gason
41 Chak ane, paran Jezi yo te konn monte Jerizalèm pou sezon fèt Pak la. 42 Lè Jezi te gen douz an, li akonpanye paran yo ki t ap monte Jerizalèm pou fèt la kòm dabitid. 43 Lè peryòd fèt la te fin pase, paran yo pran wout pou tounen lakay, men Jezi li menm te rete Jerizalèm san paran yo pa t reyalize sa. 44 Yo te vwayaje pandan tout yon jounen avèk lide Jezi te nan foul la. Apre sa, yo kòmanse chache li nan pami zanmi ak fanmi ki te nan wout la ak yo. 45 Men, yo pa t jwenn li. Konsa, yo te blije tounen Jerizalèm pou y al chache li.
46 Apre twa jou ap chache, yo te jwenn Jezi nan lakou tanp lan ansanm ak direktè Lalwa yo. Li t ap koute sa yo t ap di epi li t ap poze yo anpil kesyon tou. 47 Tout moun ki t ap tande repons li yo te etone devan konpreyansyon ak sajès li. 48 Lè manman l ak papa l te wè li, yo pa t manke sezi. Apre sa, manman l di l konsa: “Pitit mwen, poukisa ou fè nou sa? Mwen menm ak papa w te enkyete anpil pou ou. Se pa ti chache nou gentan chache w.”
49 Lè sa a Jezi di yo: “Pou kisa nou t ap chache m? Nou te dwe konnen, kote travay Papa m ye se la pou m ye.” 50 Men yo pa t konprann anyen nan sa li te di yo a.
51 Jezi te desann ansanm ak yo ale Nazarèt epi li te obeyi yo. Manman li te sere tout bagay sa yo nan kè li. 52 Firamezi Jezi t ap grandi, li t ap kontinye devlope tou nan sajès epi ni Bondye ni lèzòm te apresye l anpil.

The Birth of Jesus
2 In those days Caesar Augustus(A) issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.(B) 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)(C) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem(D) the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him(E) and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel(F) of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.(G) I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior(H) has been born to you; he is the Messiah,(I) the Lord.(J) 12 This will be a sign(K) to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace(L) to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.(M) 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.(N) 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God(O) for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child,(P) he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.(Q)
Jesus Presented in the Temple
22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses,(R) Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[b]),(S) 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[c](T)
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout.(U) He was waiting for the consolation of Israel,(V) and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,(W) 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,(X)
you may now dismiss[d] your servant in peace.(Y)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,(Z)
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”(AA)
33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother:(AB) “This child is destined to cause the falling(AC) and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
36 There was also a prophet,(AD) Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[e](AE) She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.(AF) 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.(AG)
39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.(AH) 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.(AI)
The Boy Jesus at the Temple
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.(AJ) 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed(AK) at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother(AL) said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father(AM) and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[f](AN) 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.(AO)
51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them(AP) and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.(AQ) 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.(AR)
