Ang Kapanganakan ni Jesus(A)
2 Nang mga araw na iyon ay lumabas ang isang utos mula kay Augusto Cesar upang magpatala ang buong daigdig.
2 Ito ang unang pagtatala na ginawa nang si Quirinio ay gobernador sa Siria.
3 Pumunta ang lahat upang magpatala, bawat isa sa kanyang sariling bayan.
4 Umahon din si Jose mula sa Galilea mula sa bayan ng Nazaret, patungo sa Judea, sa lunsod ni David, na tinatawag na Bethlehem, sapagkat siya'y mula sa sambahayan at lipi ni David,
5 upang magpatalang kasama ni Maria na kanyang magiging asawa, na noon ay malapit nang manganak.
6 Samantalang sila'y naroroon, dumating ang panahon ng kanyang panganganak.
7 At kanyang isinilang ang kanyang panganay na anak na lalaki, binalot niya ito ng mga lampin,[a] at inihiga sa isang sabsaban sapagkat walang lugar para sa kanila sa bahay-panuluyan.
Ang mga Pastol at ang mga Anghel
8 Sa lupaing iyon ay may mga pastol ng tupa na nasa parang na nagbabantay sa kanilang kawan sa gabi.
9 Tumayo sa tabi nila ang isang anghel ng Panginoon at ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay nagliwanag sa palibot nila, at sila'y lubhang natakot.
10 Kaya't sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot, sapagkat narito, dala ko sa inyo ang magandang balita ng malaking kagalakan para sa buong bayan.
11 Sapagkat ipinanganak sa inyo ngayon sa lunsod ni David ang isang Tagapagligtas, na siya ang Cristo, ang Panginoon.
12 Ito ang magiging palatandaan ninyo: Matatagpuan ninyo ang isang sanggol na balot ng lampin at nakahiga sa isang sabsaban.”
13 At biglang sumama sa anghel ang isang malaking hukbo ng langit na nagpupuri sa Diyos at nagsasabi,
14 “Luwalhati sa Diyos sa kataas-taasan,
at sa lupa'y kapayapaan sa mga taong kinalulugdan niya.”[b]
15 Nang iwan sila ng mga anghel patungo sa langit, sinabi ng mga pastol sa isa't isa, “Pumunta tayo ngayon sa Bethlehem at tingnan natin ang nangyaring ito na ipinaalam sa atin ng Panginoon.”
16 At sila'y nagmamadaling pumunta at kanilang natagpuan sina Maria at Jose, at ang sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban.
17 Nang makita nila ito, ipinaalam nila sa kanila ang mga sinabi tungkol sa sanggol na ito;
18 at lahat nang nakarinig nito ay namangha sa mga bagay na sinabi sa kanila ng mga pastol.
19 Subalit iningatan ni Maria ang lahat ng mga salitang ito, na pinagbulay-bulay sa kanyang puso.
20 Pagkatapos ay bumalik ang mga pastol na niluluwalhati at pinupuri ang Diyos dahil sa lahat ng kanilang narinig at nakita, ayon sa sinabi sa kanila.
Binigyan ng Pangalan si Jesus
21 Makaraan(B) ang walong araw, dumating ang panahon upang tuliin ang bata.[c] Tinawag siyang Jesus, ang pangalang ibinigay ng anghel bago siya ipinaglihi sa sinapupunan.
Dinala si Jesus sa Templo
22 Nang(C) sumapit na ang mga araw ng kanilang paglilinis ayon sa kautusan ni Moises, kanilang dinala siya sa Jerusalem upang iharap siya sa Panginoon
23 (ito ay ayon(D) sa nasusulat sa kautusan ng Panginoon, “Ang bawat panganay na lalaki ay tatawaging banal sa Panginoon”).
24 Sila'y naghandog ng alay alinsunod sa sinasabi sa kautusan ng Panginoon, “dalawang batu-bato, o dalawang batang kalapati.”
25 Noon ay may isang lalaki sa Jerusalem na ang pangalan ay Simeon. Ang lalaking ito'y matuwid at masipag sa kabanalan na naghihintay sa kaaliwan ng Israel at nasa kanya ang Espiritu Santo.
26 Ipinahayag sa kanya ng Espiritu Santo na hindi niya makikita ang kamatayan, hanggang sa makita muna niya ang Cristo ng Panginoon.
27 Sa patnubay ng Espiritu ay pumasok siya sa templo. Nang ipasok ng mga magulang sa templo ang sanggol na si Jesus upang gawin sa kanya ang naaayon sa kaugalian sa ilalim ng kautusan,
28 inilagay niya ang sanggol sa kanyang mga bisig, pinuri ang Diyos, at sinabi,
29 “Panginoon, ngayon ay hayaan mong ang iyong alipin ay pumanaw na may kapayapaan,
ayon sa iyong salita,
30 sapagkat nakita ng aking mga mata ang iyong pagliligtas,
31 na iyong inihanda sa harapan ng lahat ng mga tao,
32 isang(E) ilaw upang magpahayag sa mga Hentil,
at para sa kaluwalhatian ng iyong bayang Israel.”
33 Ang ama at ina ng bata[d] ay namangha sa mga bagay na sinasabi tungkol sa kanya.
34 Sila'y binasbasan ni Simeon at sinabi kay Maria na kanyang ina, “Ang batang ito ay itinalaga para sa pagbagsak at pagbangon ng marami sa Israel at pinakatanda na sasalungatin,
35 at tatagos ang isang tabak sa iyong sariling kaluluwa upang mahayag ang iniisip ng marami.”
36 Mayroong isang babaing propeta, si Ana na anak ni Fanuel, mula sa lipi ni Aser. Siya ay napakatanda na at may pitong taong namuhay na kasama ng kanyang asawa mula nang sila ay ikasal,
37 at bilang isang balo hanggang walumpu't apat na taong gulang. Hindi siya umalis sa templo kundi sumamba roon na may pag-aayuno at panalangin sa gabi at araw.
38 Pagdating niya sa oras ding iyon, siya'y nagpasalamat sa Diyos at nagsalita nang tungkol sa sanggol[e] sa lahat ng naghihintay para sa katubusan ng Jerusalem.
Ang Pagbabalik sa Nazaret
39 Nang(F) magampanan na nila ang lahat ng mga bagay ayon sa kautusan ng Panginoon, bumalik sila sa Galilea, sa kanilang sariling bayang Nazaret.
40 At lumaki ang bata, lumakas, napuno ng karunungan, at sumasakanya ang biyaya ng Diyos.
Ang Batang si Jesus sa Templo
41 Noon,(G) taun-taon ay nagtutungo ang kanyang mga magulang sa Jerusalem sa kapistahan ng Paskuwa.
42 Nang siya'y labindalawang taon na, umahon sila ayon sa kaugalian patungo sa kapistahan.
43 Nang matapos na ang kapistahan, sa pagbabalik nila ay nanatili ang batang si Jesus sa Jerusalem, ngunit hindi ito alam ng kanyang mga magulang.
44 Ngunit sa pag-aakala nilang siya'y kasama ng mga manlalakbay, nagpatuloy sila ng isang araw na paglalakbay. Pagkatapos ay kanilang hinahanap siya sa mga kamag-anak at mga kakilala,
45 at nang di nila siya matagpuan, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem upang hanapin siya.
46 Pagkalipas ng tatlong araw, kanilang natagpuan siya sa templo na nakaupo sa gitna ng mga guro na nakikinig at nagtatanong sa kanila.
47 Ang lahat ng nakikinig sa kanya ay namangha sa kanyang katalinuhan at sa kanyang mga sagot.
48 Nang siya'y makita nila ay nagtaka sila at sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina, “Anak, bakit ginawa mo sa amin ang ganito? Tingnan mo, ang iyong ama at ako ay naghahanap sa iyo na may pag-aalala.”
49 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Bakit ninyo ako hinahanap? Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na dapat ay nasa bahay ako ng aking Ama?”[f]
50 At hindi nila naunawaan ang salitang sinabi niya sa kanila.
51 Umuwi siyang kasama nila, at dumating sa Nazaret at naging masunurin sa kanila. Iningatan ng kanyang ina ang mga bagay na ito sa kanyang puso.
52 Lumago(H) si Jesus sa karunungan, sa pangangatawan, at naging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos at sa mga tao.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
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.

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)
Luke 2

Christ Born of Mary(A)
2 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 (B)This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to (C)the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (D)because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, (E)his betrothed [a]wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And (F)she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a [b]manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Glory in the Highest
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, (G)and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, (H)“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy (I)which will be to all people. 11 (J)For there is born to you this day in the city of David (K)a Savior, (L)who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a [d]manger.”
13 (M)And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made [f]widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 (Q)But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and (R)praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
Circumcision of Jesus
21 (S)And when eight days were completed [g]for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called (T)Jesus, the name given by the angel (U)before He was conceived in the womb.
Jesus Presented in the Temple
22 Now when (V)the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23 (W)(as it is written in the law of the Lord, (X)“Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, (Y)“A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
Simeon Sees God’s Salvation
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, (Z)waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not (AA)see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 So he came (AB)by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, 28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:
29 “Lord, (AC)now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
According to Your word;
30 For my eyes (AD)have seen Your salvation
31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
32 (AE)A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”
33 [h]And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the (AF)fall and rising of many in Israel, and for (AG)a sign which will be spoken against 35 (yes, (AH)a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Anna Bears Witness to the Redeemer
36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of (AI)Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and this woman was a widow [i]of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers (AJ)night and day. 38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to [j]the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who (AK)looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
The Family Returns to Nazareth
39 So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. 40 (AL)And the Child grew and became strong [k]in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
The Boy Jesus Amazes the Scholars
41 His parents went to (AM)Jerusalem (AN)every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the (AO)custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the (AP)days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And [l]Joseph and His mother did not know it; 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And (AQ)all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”
49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be (AR)about (AS)My Father’s business?” 50 But (AT)they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
Jesus Advances in Wisdom and Favor
51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was [m]subject to them, but His mother (AU)kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus (AV)increased in wisdom and stature, (AW)and in favor with God and men.
