Luke 2 (kjv)

And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096 in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250, that there went out^G1831 a decree^G1378 from^G3844 Caesar^G2541 Augustus^G828, that all^G3956 the world^G3625 should be taxed^G583.²(And this^G3778 taxing^G582 was^G1096 first^G4413 made^G1096 when Cyrenius^G2958 was governor^G2230 of Syria^G4947.)³And^G2532 all^G3956 went^G4198 to be taxed^G583, every one^G1538 into^G1519 his own^G2398 city^G4172.⁴And^G1161 Joseph^G2501 also^G2532 went up^G305 from^G575 Galilee^G1056, out of^G1537 the city^G4172 of Nazareth^G3478, into^G1519 Judaea^G2449, unto^G1519 the city^G4172 of David^G1138, which^G3748 is called^G2564 Bethlehem^G965; (because^G1223 he^G846 was^G1511 of^G1537 the house^G3624 and^G2532 lineage^G3965 of David^G1138:)⁵To be taxed^G583 with^G4862 Mary^G3137 his^G846 espoused^G3423 wife^G1135, being^G5607 great with child^G1471.⁶And^G1161 so it was^G1096, that, while^G1722 they^G846 were^G1511 there^G1563, the days^G2250 were accomplished^G4130 that she^G846 should be delivered^G5088.⁷And^G2532 she brought forth^G5088 her^G846 firstborn^G4416 son^G5207, and^G2532 wrapped^G4683 him^G846 in swaddling clothes^G4683, and^G2532 laid^G347 him^G846 in^G1722 a manger^G5336; because^G1360 there was^G2258 no^G3756 room^G5117 for them^G846 in^G1722 the inn^G2646.⁸And^G2532 there were^G2258 in^G1722 the same^G846 country^G5561 shepherds^G4166 abiding in the field^G63,^G2532 keeping^G5442 watch^G5438 over^G1909 their^G846 flock^G4167 by night^G3571.⁹And^G2532, lo^G2400, the angel^G32 of the Lord^G2962 came upon^G2186 them^G846, and^G2532 the glory^G1391 of the Lord^G2962 shone round about^G4034 them^G846: and^G2532 they were sore^G3173 afraid^{G5399 G5401}.¹⁰And^G2532 the angel^G32 said^G2036 unto them^G846, Fear^G5399 not^G3361: for^G1063, behold^G2400, I bring^G2097 you^G5213 good tidings^G2097 of great^G3173 joy^G5479, which^G3748 shall be^G2071 to all^G3956 people^G2992.¹¹For^G3754 unto you^G5213 is born^G5088 this day^G4594 in^G1722 the city^G4172 of David^G1138 a Saviour^G4990, which^G3739 is^G2076 Christ^G5547 the Lord^G2962.¹²And^G2532 this^G5124 shall be a sign^G4592 unto you^G5213; Ye shall find^G2147 the babe^G1025 wrapped in swaddling clothes^G4683, lying^G2749 in^G1722 a manger^G5336.¹³And^G2532 suddenly^G1810 there was^G1096 with^G4862 the angel^G32 a multitude^G4128 of the heavenly^G3770 host^G4756 praising^G134 God^G2316, and^G2532 saying^G3004,¹⁴Glory^G1391 to God^G2316 in^G1722 the highest^G5310, and^G2532 on^G1909 earth^G1093 peace^G1515, good will^G2107 toward^G1722 men^G444.¹⁵And^G2532 it came to pass^G1096, as^G5613 the angels^G32 were gone away^G565 from^G575 them^G846 into^G1519 heaven^G3772,^G2532 the shepherds^{G444 G4166} said^G2036 one^G240 to^G4314 another^G240, Let us^G1330 now^G1211 go^G1330 even unto^G2193 Bethlehem^G965, and^G2532 see^G1492 this^G5124 thing^G4487 which is come to pass^G1096, which^{G3739 G3588} the Lord^G2962 hath made known^G1107 unto us^G2254.¹⁶And^G2532 they came^G2064 with haste^G4692, and^{G2532 G5037} found^G429 Mary^G3137, and^G2532 Joseph^G2501, and^G2532 the babe^G1025 lying^G2749 in^G1722 a manger^G5336.¹⁷And^G1161 when they had seen^G1492 it, they made known abroad^G1232 the saying^{G4012 G4487} which^G3588 was told^G2980 them^G846 concerning^G4012 this^G5127 child^G3813.¹⁸And^G2532 all^G3956 they that heard^G191 it wondered^G2296 at^G4012 those things which^G3588 were told^G2980 them^{G4314 G846} by^G5259 the shepherds^G4166.¹⁹But^G1161 Mary^G3137 kept^G4933 all^G3956 these things^{G4487 G5023}, and pondered^G4820 them in^G1722 her^G846 heart^G2588.²⁰And^G2532 the shepherds^G4166 returned^G1994, glorifying^G1392 and^G2532 praising^G134 God^G2316 for^G1909 all the things^G3956 that^G3739 they had heard^G191 and^G2532 seen^G1492, as^G2531 it was told^G2980 unto^G4314 them^G846.²¹And^G2532 when^G3753 eight^G3638 days^G2250 were accomplished^G4130 for the circumcising^G4059 of the child^G3813,^G2532 his^G846 name^G3686 was called^G2564 JESUS^G2424, which^G3588 was so named^G2564 of^G5259 the angel^G32 before^G4253 he^G846 was conceived^G4815 in^G1722 the womb^G2836.²²And^G2532 when^G3753 the days^G2250 of her^G846 purification^G2512 according^G2596 to the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475 were accomplished^G4130, they brought^G321 him^G846 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414, to present^G3936 him to the Lord^G2962;²³(As^G2531 it is written^G1125 in^G1722 the law^G3551 of the Lord^G2962,^G3754 Every^G3956 male^G730 that openeth^G1272 the womb^G3388 shall be called^G2564 holy^G40 to the Lord^G2962;)²⁴And^G2532 to offer^G1325 a sacrifice^G2378 according^G2596 to that which is said^G2046 in^G1722 the law^G3551 of the Lord^G2962, A pair^G2201 of turtledoves^G5167, or^G2228 two^G1417 young^G3502 pigeons^G4058.²⁵And^G2532, behold^G2400, there was^G2258 a man^G444 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419, whose^G3739 name^G3686 was Simeon^G4826; and^G2532 the same^G3778 man^G444 was just^G1342 and^G2532 devout^G2126, waiting^G4327 for the consolation^G3874 of Israel^G2474: and^G2532 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 was^G2258 upon^G1909 him^G846.²⁶And^G2532 it was^G2258 revealed^G5537 unto him^G846 by^G5259 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, that he should^G1492 not^G3361 see^G1492 death^G2288, before^{G4250 G2228} he had seen^G1492 the Lord's^G2962 Christ^G5547.²⁷And^G2532 he came^G2064 by^G1722 the Spirit^G4151 into^G1519 the temple^G2411: and^G2532 when the parents^G1118 brought^G1521 in^G1722 the child^G3813 Jesus^G2424, to do^{G4160 G846} for^G4012 him^G846 after^G2596 the custom^G1480 of the law^G3551,²⁸Then^G2532 took^G1209 he^G846 him^G846 up^G1209 in^G1519 his^G846 arms^G43, and^G2532 blessed^G2127 God^G2316, and^G2532 said^G2036,²⁹Lord^G1203, now^G3568 lettest thou^G630 thy^G4675 servant^G1401 depart^G630 in^G1722 peace^G1515, according^G2596 to thy^G4675 word^G4487:³⁰For^G3754 mine^G3450 eyes^G3788 have seen^G1492 thy^G4675 salvation^G4992,³¹Which^G3739 thou hast prepared^G2090 before^G2596 the face^G4383 of all^G3956 people^G2992;³²A light^G5457 to^G1519 lighten^G602 the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 the glory^G1391 of thy^G4675 people^G2992 Israel^G2474.³³And^G2532 Joseph^G2501 and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 marvelled^{G2258 G2296} at^G1909 those things which were spoken^G2980 of^G4012 him^G846.³⁴And^G2532 Simeon^G4826 blessed^G2127 them^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036 unto^G4314 Mary^G3137 his^G846 mother^G3384, Behold^G2400, this^G3778 child is set^G2749 for^G1519 the fall^G4431 and^G2532 rising again^G386 of many^G4183 in^G1722 Israel^G2474; and^G2532 for^G1519 a sign^G4592 which shall be spoken against^G483;³⁵(Yea^G1161, a sword^G4501 shall pierce through^G1330 thy^G4675 own^G846 soul^G5590 also^G2532,) that^G3704 the thoughts^G1261 of^G1537 many^G4183 hearts^{G2588 G302} may be revealed^G601.³⁶And^G2532 there was^G2258 one Anna^G451, a prophetess^G4398, the daughter^G2364 of Phanuel^G5323, of^G1537 the tribe^G5443 of Aser^G768: she^{G3778 G846} was of a great^{G4183 G1722} age^{G2250 G4260}, and had lived^G2198 with^G3326 an husband^G435 seven^G2033 years^G2094 from^G575 her^G846 virginity^G3932;³⁷And^G2532 she^G3778 was a widow^G5503 of about^G5613 fourscore^G3589 and four^G5064 years^G2094, which^G3739 departed^G868 not^G3756 from^G575 the temple^G2411, but served^G3000 God with fastings^G3521 and^G2532 prayers^G1162 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250.³⁸And^G2532 she^{G3778 G846} coming in^G2186 that^G846 instant^G5610 gave thanks likewise^G437 unto the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 spake^G2980 of^G4012 him^G846 to all^G3956 them that looked^G4327 for redemption^G3085 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419.³⁹And^G2532 when^G5613 they had performed^G5055 all things^G537 according^G2596 to the law^G3551 of the Lord^G2962, they returned^G5290 into^G1519 Galilee^G1056, to^G1519 their own^G846 city^G4172 Nazareth^G3478.⁴⁰And^G1161 the child^G3813 grew^G837, and^G2532 waxed strong^G2901 in spirit^G4151, filled^G4137 with wisdom^G4678: and^G2532 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 was^G2258 upon^G1909 him^G846.⁴¹Now^G2532 his^G846 parents^G1118 went^G4198 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419 every^G2596 year^G2094 at the feast^G1859 of the passover^G3957.⁴²And^G2532 when^G3753 he was^G1096 twelve^G1427 years old^G2094, they^G846 went up^G305 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414 after^G2596 the custom^G1485 of the feast^G1859.⁴³And^G2532 when they had fulfilled^G5048 the days^G2250, as^G1722 they^G846 returned^G5290, the child^G3816 Jesus^G2424 tarried behind^G5278 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419; and^G2532 Joseph^G2501 and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 knew^G1097 not^G3756 of it.⁴⁴But^G1161 they, supposing^G3543 him^G846 to have been^G1511 in^G1722 the company^G4923, went^G2064 a day's^G2250 journey^G3598; and^G2532 they sought^G327 him^G846 among^G1722 their kinsfolk^G4773 and^{G2532 G1722} acquaintance^G1110.⁴⁵And^G2532 when they found^G2147 him^G846 not^G3361, they turned back again^G5290 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, seeking^G2212 him^G846.⁴⁶And^G2532 it came to pass^G1096, that after^G3326 three^G5140 days^G2250 they found^G2147 him^G846 in^G1722 the temple^G2411, sitting^G2516 in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of the doctors^G1320, both^G2532 hearing^G191 them^G846, and^G2532 asking^G1905 them^G846 questions^G1905.⁴⁷And^G1161 all^G3956 that heard^G191 him^G846 were astonished^G1839 at^G1909 his^G846 understanding^G4907 and^G2532 answers^G612.⁴⁸And^G2532 when they saw^G1492 him^G846, they were amazed^G1605: and^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846, Son^G5043, why^G5101 hast thou^G4160 thus^G3779 dealt^G4160 with us^G2254? behold^G2400, thy^G4675 father^G3962 and I^G2504 have sought^G2212 thee^G4571 sorrowing^G3600.⁴⁹And^G2532 he said^G2036 unto^G4314 them^G846, How^G5101 is it that^G3754 ye sought^G2212 me^G3165? wist ye^G1492 not^G3756 that^G3754 I^G3165 must^G1163 be^G1511 about^G1722 my^G3450 Father's business^G3962?⁵⁰And^G2532 they^G846 understood^G4920 not^G3756 the saying^G4487 which^G3739 he spake^G2980 unto them^G846.⁵¹And^G2532 he went down^G2597 with^G3326 them^G846, and^G2532 came^G2064 to^G1519 Nazareth^G3478, and^G2532 was^G2258 subject^G5293 unto them^G846: but^G2532 his^G846 mother^G3384 kept^G1301 all^G3956 these^G5023 sayings^G4487 in^G1722 her^G846 heart^G2588.⁵²And^G2532 Jesus^G2424 increased^G4298 in wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 stature^G2244, and^G2532 in favour^G5485 with^G3844 God^G2316 and^G2532 man^G444.
