Ang Pagsilang ni Jesus(A)
2 Nang panahong iyon, iniutos ni Emperador Augusto na magkaroon ng sensus sa lahat ng nasasakupan ng Imperyo ng Roma. 2 Ang unang sensus na ito ay ginawa noong si Cirenio ang gobernador ng Siria. 3 Kaya't umuwi ang mga tao sa sarili nilang bayan upang magpatala.
4 Mula sa Nazaret, isang lungsod sa Galilea, si Jose ay pumunta sa Judea, sa Bethlehem na bayang sinilangan ni Haring David, sapagkat siya'y mula sa angkan ni David. 5 Kasama rin niyang umuwi upang magpatala si Maria na kanyang magiging asawa, na noon ay nagdadalang-tao. 6 Habang sila'y nasa Bethlehem, sumapit ang oras ng panganganak ni Maria. 7 Isinilang niya ang kanyang panganay, na isang lalaki. Binalot niya sa lampin ang sanggol at inihiga sa isang sabsaban, sapagkat wala nang lugar para sa kanila sa bahay-panuluyan.
Ang mga Pastol at ang mga Anghel
8 Doon ay may mga pastol na nasa parang at nagbabantay ng kanilang mga tupa nang gabing iyon. 9 At tumayo(B) sa harapan nila ang isang anghel ng Panginoon at nagliwanag sa kapaligiran nila ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon. Ganoon na lamang ang kanilang pagkatakot. 10 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot! Ako'y may dalang magandang balita para sa inyo na magdudulot ng malaking kagalakan sa lahat ng tao. 11 Isinilang sa inyo ngayon sa bayan ni David ang Tagapagligtas, ang Cristong Panginoon. 12 Ito ang inyong palatandaan: matatagpuan ninyo ang isang sanggol na nababalot ng lampin at nakahiga sa isang sabsaban.”
13 Biglang lumitaw kasama ng anghel ang isang malaking hukbo ng mga anghel sa kalangitan. Sila'y nagpupuri sa Diyos at umaawit,
14 “Papuri sa Diyos sa kaitaasan,
at sa lupa ay kapayapaan sa mga taong kinalulugdan niya!”
15 Nang makaalis na ang mga anghel pabalik sa langit, ang mga pastol ay nag-usap-usap, “Tayo na sa Bethlehem! Tingnan natin ang pangyayaring ito na ibinalita sa atin ng Panginoon.” 16 Nagmamadali silang pumunta roon at natagpuan nila sina Maria at Jose, at naroon ang sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban. 17 Nang makita ng mga pastol ang sanggol, isinalaysay nila ang sinabi ng anghel tungkol dito. 18 Namangha ang lahat ng nakarinig sa sinabi ng mga pastol. 19 Tinandaan ni Maria ang mga bagay na ito, at ito'y kanyang pinagbulay-bulayan.
20 Umalis ang mga pastol na nagpupuri sa Diyos at nagpapahayag ng kanyang kadakilaan dahil sa lahat ng narinig nila at nakita, ayon sa sinabi sa kanila ng anghel.
Pinangalanan si Jesus
21 Pagsapit(C) ng ikawalong araw, tinuli ang bata at pinangalanang Jesus. Ito ang pangalang sinabi ng anghel bago pa siya ipaglihi.
Dinala si Jesus sa Templo
22 Nang(D) sumapit ang araw ng kanilang pagtupad sa seremonya ng paglilinis ayon sa Kautusan ni Moises, pumunta sila sa Jerusalem. Dinala nila ang sanggol upang iharap sa Panginoon, 23 sapagkat(E) ganito ang nasusulat sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, “Bawat panganay na lalaki ay itatalaga sa Panginoon.” 24 Nag-alay din sila ng handog ayon sa nakasaad sa Kautusan ng Panginoon: magkapares na ibong batu-bato, o kaya'y dalawang inakay na kalapati.
25 May isang tao noon sa Jerusalem na ang pangala'y Simeon, isang lalaking matuwid, may takot sa Diyos at naghihintay sa katubusan ng Israel. Nasa kanya ang Espiritu Santo. 26 Ipinahayag ng Espiritu Santo sa kanya na hindi siya mamamatay hangga't hindi niya nakikita ang Cristo na ipinangako ng Panginoon. 27 Sa patnubay ng Espiritu, si Simeon ay pumasok sa Templo. At nang dalhin doon nina Jose at Maria ang sanggol na si Jesus upang tuparin ang ayon sa itinatakda ng Kautusan, 28 kinarga ni Simeon ang sanggol. Pagkatapos, nagpuri siya sa Diyos,
29 “Ngayon, Panginoon, maaari na pong yumaong mapayapa
ang inyong abang alipin ayon sa inyong pangako.
30 Yamang nakita na po ng aking mga mata ang inyong pagliligtas,
31 na inyong inihanda sa harapan ng lahat ng bansa.
32 Ito(F) po ay liwanag na tatanglaw sa mga Hentil
at magbibigay-dangal sa inyong bansang Israel.”
33 Namangha ang mga magulang ng sanggol dahil sa sinabi ni Simeon tungkol sa bata. 34 Binasbasan sila ni Simeon, at sinabi kay Maria, “Tandaan mo, ang batang ito'y nakatalaga sa ikapapahamak o ikaliligtas ng marami sa Israel. Siya ang magiging tanda mula sa Diyos ngunit tutuligsain siya ng marami, 35 kaya't mahahayag ang kanilang iniisip. Dahil dito, magdaranas ka ng matinding kapighatiang parang isang patalim na itinarak sa iyong puso.”
36 Naroon(G) din sa Templo ang isang propetang babae na ang pangalan ay Ana, anak ni Fanuel at mula sa lipi ni Asher. Siya'y napakatanda na. Pitong taon lamang silang nagsama ng kanyang asawa, 37 at ngayo'y walumpu't apat na taon na siyang biyuda. Lagi siya sa Templo at araw-gabi'y sumasamba sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pag-aayuno at pananalangin. 38 Nang oras na iyon, lumapit siya kina Jose at Maria at nagpasalamat sa Diyos. Nagsalita rin siya tungkol sa sanggol sa lahat ng naghihintay sa pagpapalaya ng Diyos sa Jerusalem.
Ang Pagbalik sa Nazaret
39 Nang(H) maisagawa na nila ang lahat ng ayon sa itinatakda ng kautusan ng Panginoon, umuwi na sila sa bayan ng Nazaret sa Galilea. 40 Ang bata'y lumaking malusog, puspos ng karunungan, at kalugud-lugod sa Diyos.
Ang Batang si Jesus sa Loob ng Templo
41 Taun-taon,(I) tuwing Pista ng Paskwa, ang mga magulang ni Jesus ay pumupunta sa Jerusalem. 42 Nang siya'y labindalawang taon na, dumalo sila sa pista, ayon sa kanilang kaugalian. 43 Sila'y umuwi na pagkatapos ng pista. Ang batang si Jesus ay nagpaiwan sa Jerusalem ngunit hindi ito napansin ng kanyang mga magulang. 44 Sa pag-aakalang siya ay kasama ng pangkat, nagpatuloy sila sa maghapong paglalakbay. Pagkatapos, siya ay hinanap nila sa kanilang mga kamag-anak at mga kakilala, ngunit 45 hindi nila natagpuan si Jesus. Kaya't bumalik sila sa Jerusalem upang doon maghanap. 46 Pagkalipas ng tatlong araw, si Jesus ay natagpuan nila sa loob ng Templo. Siya'y nakaupong kasama ng mga guro. Nakikinig siya at nagtatanong sa kanila, 47 at ang lahat ng nakakarinig sa kanya ay hangang-hanga sa kanyang pang-unawa at mga sagot. 48 Namangha rin ang kanyang mga magulang nang siya'y makita. Sinabi ng kanyang ina, “Anak, bakit mo naman ginawa ito sa amin? Lubha ang aming pag-aalala ng iyong ama sa paghahanap sa iyo.”
49 Sumagot si Jesus, “Bakit po ninyo ako hinahanap? Hindi po ba ninyo alam na ako'y dapat mamalagi sa bahay ng aking Ama?”[a] 50 Ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang sinabi niyang ito.
51 Siya'y sumama sa kanila pauwi sa Nazaret, at siya'y naging masunurin sa kanila. Ang lahat ng bagay na ito ay iningatan ng kanyang ina sa kanyang puso. 52 Patuloy(J) na lumaki si Jesus sa pangangatawan, lumawak ang kanyang karunungan at lalong naging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos at sa mga tao.

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)
