Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.

15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.

21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much distress.

49 And he said to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know that I must be about my Father's business?

51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
