Ang Kapanganakan ni Jesus(A)
2 Nang mga araw na iyon, lumabas ang isang utos mula kay Emperador Augusto na magpatala ang lahat sa buong mundo. 2 Naganap ang unang pagpapatalang ito nang si Quirinio ang gobernador ng Syria. 3 Umuwi nga ang bawat isa sa kani-kanilang bayan upang magpatala. 4 Pumunta rin si Jose mula sa bayan ng Nazareth ng Galilea patungong Judea, sa lungsod ni David na kung tawagin ay Bethlehem dahil siya ay mula sa lipi at sambahayan ni David. 5 Kasama niyang magpapatala si Maria, na ipinagkasundo sa kanya; nagdadalang-tao na si Maria noon. 6 Habang sila'y naroroon, dumating ang oras ng panganganak ni Maria. 7 At isinilang niya ang kanyang panganay na lalaki, binalot niya ito ng lampin at inihiga sa sabsaban, sapagkat walang lugar para sa kanila sa bahay-panuluyan.
Ang mga Pastol at ang mga Anghel
8 Kinagabihan, sa lupain ding iyon ay may mga pastol sa parang na nagbabantay ng kanilang mga kawan. 9 Bigla na lang lumitaw sa harapan nila ang anghel ng Panginoon, at ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ay nagliwanag sa kanilang paligid; sila ay lubhang natakot. 10 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot, sapagkat dala ko sa inyo ang mabuting balitang ikagagalak ng lahat ng tao. 11 Sa araw na ito, isinilang sa bayan ni David ang inyong Tagapagligtas, ang Cristong Panginoon. 12 At ito ang palatandaan para sa inyo: matatagpuan ninyo ang isang sanggol na binalot sa lampin at nakahiga sa sabsaban.” 13 Walang anu-ano'y sumama sa anghel ang isang malaking hukbo ng kalangitan. Sila'y nagpupuri sa Diyos at nagsasabi:
14 “Luwalhati sa Diyos sa kaitaas-taasan,
at sa daigdig, kapayapaan sa mga taong kanyang kinalulugdan.”[a]
15 Nang iwan sila ng mga anghel, sinabi ng mga pastol sa isa't isa, “Tayo na sa Bethlehem! Tingnan natin ang pangyayaring ito na ibinalita sa atin ng Panginoon.” 16 At nagmamadali silang nagpunta at natagpuan nila sina Maria, si Jose, at ang sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban. 17 Nang makita ito, ipinaalam nila ang mga sinabi tungkol sa sanggol na ito. 18 Namangha ang lahat ng nakarinig sa sinabi sa kanila ng mga pastol. 19 Pinahalagahan ni Maria ang lahat ng mga ito sa kanyang kalooban at pinagbulay-bulayan. 20 Nagpupuring umalis ang mga pastol at niluluwalhati ang Diyos sapagkat lahat ng kanilang nakita at narinig ay ayon sa sinabi sa kanila ng anghel. 21 Makalipas ang walong araw, tinuli ang bata at pinangalanang Jesus, ayon sa pangalang ibinigay sa kanya ng anghel bago pa siya ipinagdalang-tao.
Ang Paghahandog kay Jesus
22 Nang sumapit na ang araw ng kanilang paglilinis ayon sa Kautusan ni Moises, dinala ng kanyang mga magulang ang sanggol sa Jerusalem upang ihandog sa Panginoon. 23 Ito ay ayon sa nakasaad sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, “Ang bawat panganay na lalaki ay itatalaga sa Panginoon.” 24 Nag-alay din sila nang ayon sa sinabi sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, “dalawang batu-bato o dalawang batang kalapati.” 25 May isang tao noon sa Jerusalem na ang pangalan ay Simeon. Ang lalaking ito ay matuwid at masipag sa kabanalan at naghihintay sa pagpapalaya sa Israel. Sumasakanya ang Banal na Espiritu. 26 Ipinahayag ng Banal na Espiritu sa kanya na makikita muna niya ang Cristo ng Panginoon bago siya mamatay. 27 Sa patnubay ng Espiritu ay pumasok si Simeon sa templo. At nakita niya na dala-dala si Jesus ng kanyang mga magulang upang gawin ang nakaugalian ayon sa Kautusan. 28 Kinarga ni Simeon ang sanggol at nagpuri sa Panginoon. Sinabi niya,
29 “Ngayon, Panginoon ko, ayon sa inyong ipinangako,
mapayapa mo nang kunin ang iyong alipin.
30 Sapagkat namalas na ng aking mga mata ang iyong pagliligtas,
31 na inyong inihanda, sa harap ng lahat ng bansa:
32 Isang ilaw ng pagpapahayag sa mga Hentil
at para sa kaluwalhatian ng bansa mong Israel.”
33 Ang ama at ina ng sanggol ay namangha sa mga sinabi tungkol sa kanya. 34 At binasbasan sila ni Simeon at sinabi kay Maria na ina ng sanggol, “Tandaan mo ang sasabihin ko: itinalaga ang batang ito para sa pagbagsak at pagbangon ng marami sa Israel. Siya'y magiging tanda na sasalungatin ng marami, 35 at mahahayag ang iniisip ng marami—at tila isang balaraw ang tatarak sa iyong puso.” 36 Naroon din si Ana, isang propetang babae na anak ni Fanuel, mula sa lipi ni Aser. Napakatanda na niya. Pitong taon niyang nakapiling ang kanyang asawa matapos maikasal. 37 Ngayon ay isa na siyang balo sa edad na walumpu't apat. Hindi niya nililisan ang templo kundi araw at gabi siyang nag-aayuno at nananalangin doon. 38 Pagdating niya nang mga oras na iyon, nagpuri siya sa Diyos at nagsimulang magsalita tungkol sa sanggol sa lahat ng mga naghihintay ng katubusan ng Israel.
Ang Pagbabalik sa Nazareth
39 Pagkatapos nilang maisagawa ang lahat ng ayon sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, bumalik ang mga magulang ni Jesus sa kanilang bayang Nazareth sa Galilea. 40 Lumaking malusog ang bata, puspos ng karunungan at sumasakanya ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos.
Ang Batang si Jesus sa Templo
41 Taun-taon, tuwing Pista ng Paskuwa, nagpupunta sa Jerusalem ang mga magulang ni Jesus. 42 Nang naglabindalawang taong gulang na siya, umahon sila patungo sa kapistahan ayon sa kaugalian. 43 Nang matapos ang pista at sila ay pabalik na, nanatili ang batang si Jesus sa Jerusalem na hindi namamalayan ng kanyang mga magulang. 44 Sa pag-aakalang kasama nila sa paglalakbay si Jesus sa kanilang grupo, tumagal nang isang araw bago nila ito hinanap sa kanilang mga kamag-anak at kakilala. 45 Nang hindi siya matagpuan, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem upang hanapin siya. 46 Makalipas ang tatlong araw, natagpuan nila ito na nakaupo sa templo, sa kalagitnaan ng mga guro—nakikinig at nagtatanong sa kanila. 47 Ang lahat ng nakapakinig sa kanya ay manghang-mangha sa kanyang katalinuhan at mga sagot. 48 Nang makita siya ng kanyang mga magulang, namangha sila. Sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina, “Anak, bakit ganito ang ginawa mo sa amin? Ako at ang iyong ama ay nag-aalala sa kahahanap sa iyo.” 49 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Bakit po ninyo ako hinahanap? Hindi ba ninyo alam na dapat ay nasa tahanan ako ng aking ama?” 50 Ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang sinabi niya sa kanila. 51 Umalis siyang kasama nila pauwi sa Nazareth at siya ay naging masunurin sa kanila. At pinakaingatan ng kanyang ina ang mga bagay na ito sa kanyang puso. 52 Lumago si Jesus sa karunungan at pangangatawan, at naging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos at sa mga tao.

Ang Kapanganakan ni Jesus(A)
2 Nang mga panahong iyon, ang Emperador ng Roma na si Augustus ay gumawa ng kautusan na dapat magpatala ang lahat ng mga mamamayan ng bansang nasasakupan niya. 2 (Ito ang kauna-unahang sensus na naganap nang si Quirinius ang gobernador sa lalawigan ng Syria.) 3 Kaya umuwi ang lahat ng tao sa sarili nilang bayan upang magpalista.
4 Mula sa Nazaret na sakop ng Galilea, pumunta si Jose sa Betlehem na sakop ng Judea, sa bayang sinilangan ni Haring David, dahil nagmula siya sa angkan ni David. 5 Kasama niya sa pagpapalista ang magiging asawa niyang si Maria, na noon ay malapit nang manganak. 6 At habang naroon sila sa Betlehem, dumating ang oras ng panganganak ni Maria. 7 Isinilang niya ang panganay niya, na isang lalaki. Binalot niya ng lampin ang sanggol at inihiga sa sabsaban, dahil walang lugar para sa kanila sa mga bahay-panuluyan.
Nagpakita ang mga Anghel sa mga Pastol
8 Malapit sa Betlehem, may mga pastol na nasa parang, at nagpupuyat sa pagbabantay ng kanilang mga tupa. 9 Biglang nagpakita sa kanila ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, at nagningning sa paligid nila ang nakakasilaw na liwanag ng Panginoon. Ganoon na lang ang pagkatakot nila, 10 pero sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot dahil naparito ako upang sabihin sa inyo ang magandang balita na magbibigay ng malaking kagalakan sa lahat ng tao. 11 Sapagkat isinilang ngayon sa Betlehem, sa bayan ni Haring David, ang inyong Tagapagligtas, ang Cristo[a] na siyang Panginoon. 12 Ito ang palatandaan upang makilala ninyo siya: makikita ninyo ang sanggol na nababalot ng lampin at nakahiga sa isang sabsaban.”
13 Pagkatapos magsalita ng anghel, biglang nagpakita ang napakaraming anghel at sama-sama silang nagpuri sa Dios. Sinabi nila,
14 “Purihin ang Dios sa langit! May kapayapaan na sa lupa, sa mga taong kinalulugdan niya!”
15 Nang makaalis na ang mga anghel pabalik sa langit, nag-usap-usap ang mga pastol, “Tayo na sa Betlehem at tingnan natin ang mga pangyayaring sinabi sa atin ng Panginoon.” 16 Kaya nagmamadali silang pumunta sa Betlehem at nakita nila sina Maria at Jose, at ang sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban. 17 At isinalaysay nila ang mga sinabi sa kanila ng anghel tungkol sa sanggol. 18 Nagtaka ang lahat ng nakarinig sa sinabi ng mga pastol. 19 Pero iningatan ito ni Maria sa kanyang puso, at pinagbulay-bulayan ang lahat ng ito. 20 Bumalik sa parang ang mga pastol na labis ang pagpupuri sa Dios dahil sa lahat ng kanilang narinig at nakita, na ayon nga sa sinabi ng anghel.
Pinangalanang Jesus ang Sanggol
21 Pagdating ng ikawalong araw ay tinuli ang sanggol at pinangalanang Jesus. Ito ang pangalang ibinigay ng anghel bago siya ipinaglihi.
Inihandog si Jesus sa Templo
22 Dumating ang araw na maghahandog sina Jose at Maria sa templo ng Jerusalem ayon sa Kautusan ni Moises patungkol sa mga babaeng nanganak upang maituring silang malinis. Dinala rin nila ang sanggol sa Jerusalem para ihandog sa Panginoon. 23 Sapagkat nasusulat sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, “Ang bawat panganay na lalaki ay kailangang ihandog sa Panginoon.”[b] 24 At upang maituring na malinis si Maria, naghandog sila ayon sa sinasabi ng Kautusan ng Panginoon: “isang pares ng batu-bato o dalawang inakay na kalapati.”[c]
25 May isang tao roon sa Jerusalem na ang pangalan ay Simeon. Matuwid siya, may takot sa Dios, at sumasakanya ang Banal na Espiritu. Naghihintay siya sa pagdating ng haring magliligtas sa Israel. 26 Ipinahayag sa kanya ng Banal na Espiritu na hindi siya mamamatay hanggaʼt hindi niya nakikita ang haring ipinangako ng Panginoon. 27 Nang araw na iyon, sa patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu ay pumunta siya sa templo. At nang dalhin doon nina Maria at Jose si Jesus upang ihandog sa Panginoon ayon sa Kautusan, nakita ni Simeon ang sanggol. 28 Kinarga niya ito at pinuri ang Dios. Sinabi niya:
29 “Panginoon, maaari nʼyo na akong kunin na inyong lingkod,
dahil natupad na ang pangako nʼyo sa akin.
Mamamatay na ako nang mapayapa,
30 dahil nakita na ng sarili kong mga mata ang Tagapagligtas,
31 na inihanda ninyo para sa lahat ng tao.
32 Siya ang magbibigay-liwanag sa isipan ng mga hindi Judio na hindi nakakakilala sa iyo,
at magbibigay-karangalan sa inyong bayang Israel.”
33 Namangha ang ama at ina ng sanggol sa sinabi ni Simeon tungkol sa sanggol. 34 Binasbasan sila ni Simeon at sinabi niya kay Maria, “Ang batang itoʼy itinalaga upang itaas at ibagsak ang marami sa Israel. Magiging tanda siya mula sa Dios. Pero marami ang magsasalita ng laban sa kanya. 35 Kaya ikaw mismo ay masasaktan, na parang sinaksak ng patalim ang puso mo. At dahil sa gagawin niya, mahahayag ang kasamaang nasa isip ng maraming tao.”
36 Naroon din sa templo ang isang babaeng propeta na ang pangalan ay Ana. Anak siya ni Fanuel na mula sa lahi ni Asher. Matandang-matanda na siya. Pitong taon lang silang nagsama ng kanyang asawa 37 bago siya nabiyuda. At ngayon, 84 na taon na siya.[d] Palagi siyang nasa templo; araw-gabi ay sumasamba siya sa Dios sa pamamagitan ng pananalangin at pag-aayuno. 38 Lumapit siya nang oras ding iyon kina Jose at Maria at nagpasalamat sa Dios. At nagsalita rin siya tungkol sa bata sa lahat ng naghihintay sa araw ng pagliligtas ng Dios sa Jerusalem.
39 Nang maisagawa na nina Jose at Maria ang lahat ng dapat nilang gawin ayon sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, umuwi na sila sa kanilang bayan, sa Nazaret na sakop ng Galilea. 40 Lumaki ang batang si Jesus, at naging malakas at napakatalino. At pinagpala siya ng Dios.
Ang Batang si Jesus sa Templo
41 Bawat taon pumupunta ang mga magulang ni Jesus sa Jerusalem para dumalo sa Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel.[e] 42 Nang 12 taon na si Jesus, muli silang pumunta roon gaya ng nakaugalian nila. 43 Pagkatapos ng pista, umuwi na sila, pero nagpaiwan si Jesus sa Jerusalem. Hindi ito namalayan ng mga magulang niya. 44 Ang akala nilaʼy kasama siya ng iba nilang kababayan na pauwi na rin, kaya nagpatuloy sila sa paglalakad buong araw. Bandang huli ay hinanap nila si Jesus sa kanilang mga kamag-anak at mga kaibigan. 45 Nang malaman nila na wala si Jesus sa kanila, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem para roon siya hanapin. 46 At nang ikatlong araw, natagpuan nila si Jesus sa templo na nakaupong kasama ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Nakikinig siya sa kanila at nagtatanong. 47 Namangha ang lahat ng nakarinig sa mga isinasagot niya at sa kanyang katalinuhan. 48 Nagtaka ang mga magulang niya nang matagpuan siya roon. Sinabi ng kanyang ina, “Anak, bakit mo ito ginawa sa amin? Balisang-balisa na kami ng iyong ama sa paghahanap sa iyo!” 49 Sumagot si Jesus, “Bakit po ninyo ako hinahanap? Hindi ba ninyo alam na dapat ay narito ako sa bahay ng aking Ama?” 50 Pero hindi nila naunawaan ang ibig niyang sabihin.
51 Umuwi si Jesus sa Nazaret kasama ng kanyang mga magulang, at patuloy siyang naging masunuring anak. Ang lahat ng bagay na ito ay iningatan ng kanyang ina sa kanyang puso. 52 Patuloy na lumaki si Jesus at lalo pang naging matalino. Kinalugdan siya ng Dios at ng mga tao.

耶稣基督降生（参(A)
2 那时，有谕旨从凯撒奥古士督颁发下来，叫普天下的人登记户口。 2 这是第一次户口登记，是在居里纽作叙利亚总督的时候举行的。 3 众人各归各城去登记户口。 4 约瑟本是大卫家族的人，也从加利利的拿撒勒上犹太去，到了大卫的城伯利恒， 5 与所聘之妻马利亚一同登记户口。那时马利亚的身孕已经重了。 6 他们在那里的时候，马利亚的产期到了， 7 生了头胎儿子，用布包着，放在马槽里，因为客店里没有地方。
天使向牧羊人报喜信
8 在伯利恒的郊外，有一些牧人在夜间看守羊群。 9 主的一位使者站在他们旁边，主的荣光四面照着他们，他们就非常害怕。 10 天使说：“不要怕！看哪！我报给你们大喜的信息，是关于万民的： 11 今天在大卫的城里，为你们生了救主，就是主基督。 12 你们要找到一个婴孩，包着布，卧在马槽里，那就是记号了。” 13 忽然有一大队天兵，同那天使一起赞美 神说：
14 “在至高之处，荣耀归与 神！
在地上，平安归与他所喜悦的人！”
15 众天使离开他们升天去了，那些牧人彼此说：“我们往伯利恒去，看看主所指示我们已经成就的事。” 16 他们急忙去了，找到马利亚、约瑟和那卧在马槽里的婴孩。 17 他们见过以后，就把天使对他们论这孩子的话传开了。 18 听见的人，都希奇牧人所说的事。 19 马利亚把这一切放在心里，反复思想。 20 牧人因为听见的和看见的，正像天使对他们所说的一样，就回去了，把荣耀赞美归与 神。
21 满了八天，替孩子行割礼的时候，就给他起名叫耶稣，就是他成胎之前，天使所起的。
在圣殿奉献耶稣
22 满了洁净的日子，他们就按着摩西的律法，带孩子上耶路撒冷去，奉献给主。 23 正如主的律法所记：“所有头生的男孩，都当称为圣归给主。” 24 又照着主的律法所说的献上祭物，就是一对斑鸠或两只雏鸽。
25 在耶路撒冷有一个人，名叫西面，这人公义虔诚，一向期待以色列的安慰者来到，又有圣灵在他身上。 26 圣灵启示他，在死前必得见主所应许的基督， 27 他又受圣灵感动进了圣殿。那时，耶稣的父母抱着孩子进来，要按着律法的规矩为他行礼。 28 西面就把他接到手上，称颂 神说：
29 “主啊，现在照你的话，
释放仆人平平安安地去吧！
30 因我的眼睛已经看见你的救恩，
31 就是你在万民面前所预备的，
32 为要作外族人启示的光，
和你民以色列的荣耀。”
33 他父母因论到他的这些话而希奇。 34 西面给他们祝福，对他母亲马利亚说：“看哪！这孩子被立，要叫以色列中许多人跌倒，许多人兴起，又要成为反对的目标， 35 （你自己的心也会被刀刺透，）这样，许多人心中的意念就要被揭露出来。” 36 又有一个女先知，就是亚拿，是亚设支派法内利的女儿。她已经上了年纪，从童女出嫁，和丈夫住了七年， 37 就寡居了，直到八十四岁（“就寡居了，直到八十四岁”或译：“就寡居了八十四年”）。她没有离开过圣殿，以禁食和祷告昼夜事奉主。 38 就在那时候，她前来称谢 神，并且向期待耶路撒冷蒙救赎的众人，讲论孩子的事。
39 他们按着主的律法办完一切，就回加利利，到自己的城拿撒勒去了。 40 孩子渐渐长大，强壮起来，充满智慧，有 神的恩典在他身上。
孩童耶稣上耶路撒冷过节
41 每年逾越节，他父母都上耶路撒冷去。 42 当他十二岁时，他们按着节期的惯例，照常上去。 43 过完了节，他们回去的时候，孩童耶稣仍留在耶路撒冷，他父母却不知道， 44 还以为他在同行的人中间。走了一天，就在亲戚和熟人中找他， 45 没有找到，就转回耶路撒冷找他。 46 过了三天，才发现他在圣殿里，坐在教师中间，一面听，一面问。 47 所有听见他的人，都希奇他的聪明和应对。 48 他父母见了，非常惊奇，他母亲说：“孩子，为甚么这样对待我们呢？你看，你父亲和我都很担心地在找你呢！” 49 他说：“为甚么找我呢？你们不知道我必须在我父的家里吗？（“在我父的家里吗？”或译：“以我父的事为念吗？”）” 50 但他们不明白他所说的话。 51 他就同他们下去，回到拿撒勒，并且顺从他们。他母亲把这一切事，都存在心里。
52 耶稣的智慧和身量，以及 神和人对他的喜爱，都不断增长。

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.

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)
