- In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
- (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
- And everyone went to his own town to register.
- So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.
- He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.
|
- Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.
- This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
- And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.
- Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
- in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.
|
- While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
- and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
- And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
- An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
- But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
|
- While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.
- And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
- In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.
- And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.
- But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;
|
- Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
- This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
- Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
- "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
- 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."
|
- for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
- "This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
- And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
- "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
- When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."
|
- So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
- When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,
- and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
- But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
- The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
|
- So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger.
- When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.
- And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
- But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.
- The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.
|
- On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.
- When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
- (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord"),
- 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."
- Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
|
- And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
- And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
- (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD"),
- and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, "A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS."
- And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
|
- It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
- 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,
- Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
- "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace.
- For my eyes have seen your salvation,
|
- And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
- And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law,
- then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
- "Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, According to Your word;
- For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
|
- which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
- a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."
- The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him.
- Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
- so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too."
|
- Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
- A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, And the glory of Your people Israel."
- And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.
- And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed--
- and a sword will pierce even your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."
