Chapter 2
Luke ABP 2:1  And it came to pass in those days, went forth a decree by Caesar Augustus to register all the habitable world.
Luke ABP 2:2  This census first took place [2governing 3Syria 1of Cyrenius].
Luke ABP 2:3  And all went forth to register each unto his own city.
Luke ABP 2:4  [4ascended 1And 3also 2Joseph] from Galilee, from out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (on account of his being from the house and family of David),
Luke ABP 2:5  to be registered with Mary, to the one being espoused to him as wife, being pregnant.
Luke ABP 2:6  And it came to pass in their being there, [3were fulfilled 1the 2days] of her to give birth.
Luke ABP 2:7  And she gave birth to her son the first-born, and she swaddled him, and laid him in the stable, because there was no place for them in the lodging.
Luke ABP 2:8  And shepherds were in the same place living outdoors and keeping watches at night over their flock.
Luke ABP 2:9  And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and glory of the Lord shone about them, and they feared [2fear 1a great].
Luke ABP 2:10  And [3said 4to them 1the 2angel], Fear not! for behold I announce to you good news -- [2joy 1great] which shall be to all people.
Luke ABP 2:11  For was born to you today a deliverer who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
Luke ABP 2:12  And this [3to you 1is the 2sign]; you shall find the babe being swaddled, lying in a stable.
Luke ABP 2:13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude [2military 1of heavenly] praising God, and saying,
Luke ABP 2:14  Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men with benevolence.
Luke ABP 2:15  And it came to pass as [3went forth 4from 5them 6into 7the 8heaven 1the 2angels], that the men, the shepherds said to one another, We should go indeed unto Bethlehem, and behold this thing taking place, which the Lord made known to us.
Luke ABP 2:16  And they came having hastened, and discovered both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable.
Luke ABP 2:17  And beholding, they made known concerning the thing being spoken to them concerning this child.
Luke ABP 2:18  And all the ones having heard wondered concerning the things being spoken by the shepherds to them.
Luke ABP 2:19  But Mary preserved all these things, uniting them in her heart.
Luke ABP 2:20  And [3returned 1the 2shepherds], glorifying and praising God for all which they heard and beheld, as it was told to them.
Luke ABP 2:21  And when [3were fulfilled 2days 1eight] to circumcise the child, that [2was called 1his name] Jesus, the one being called by the angel before his being conceived in the belly.
Luke ABP 2:22  And when [3were fulfilled 1the 2days] of her cleansing, according to the law of Moses, they led him unto Jerusalem to render to the Lord,
Luke ABP 2:23  (as it has been written in the law of the Lord that, Every male opening wide the womb [2holy 3to the 4Lord 1shall be called];)
Luke ABP 2:24  and to give a sacrifice according to the thing being said in the law of the Lord -- a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
Luke ABP 2:25  And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and reverent, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and [2spirit 1holy] was upon him.
Luke ABP 2:26  And there was to him a receiving of a divine message by the [2spirit 1holy] to not see death before he should behold the Christ of the Lord.
Luke ABP 2:27  And he came in the spirit into the temple. And in the bringing [4by the 5parents 1the 2child 3Jesus], for them to do according to the thing accustomed by the law for him,
Luke ABP 2:28  that he received it into his embrace, and he blessed God, and said,
Luke ABP 2:29  Now loosen your servant, O master, according to your word, in peace.
Luke ABP 2:31  which you prepared before the face of all the peoples;
Luke ABP 2:32  a light for an uncovering of nations, and glory of your people Israel.
Luke ABP 2:33  And [2was 1Joseph 4and 5his mother 3marveling] over the things being spoken concerning him.
Luke ABP 2:34  And [2blessed 3them 1Simeon], and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this one is situated for a downfall and a rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign being disputed;
Luke ABP 2:35  ([2even 3you 1and], [3your 4soul 2shall go through 1a broadsword],) so that [4should be 5uncovered 2of many 3hearts 1the thoughts].
Luke ABP 2:36  And there was Anna a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher; she was advanced in [2days 1many], having lived [2years 3with 4a husband 1seven] from her virginity,
Luke ABP 2:37  and she was a widow about [2years 1eighty-four], who did not leave from the temple; with fastings and supplications serving night and day.
Luke ABP 2:38  And she, the same hour standing by, confessed to the Lord, and spoke concerning him to all the ones waiting for a ransoming in Jerusalem.
Luke ABP 2:39  And as they finished all together the things according to the law of the Lord, they returned unto Galilee, unto their own city Nazareth.
Luke ABP 2:40  And the child grew and was fortified in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and favor of God was upon it.
Luke ABP 2:41  And [2went 1his parents] each year unto Jerusalem to the holiday of the passover.
Luke ABP 2:42  And when he was [2years old 1twelve], of their ascending unto Jerusalem according to the custom of the holiday,
Luke ABP 2:43  and having finished the days, in their returning, [4remained behind 3Jesus 1the 2child] in Jerusalem; and [4did not 5know 1Joseph 2and 3his mother].
Luke ABP 2:44  But thinking him [2in 3the 4group 1to be], they came a day's journey; and they searched him out among the relatives and among the acquaintances.
Luke ABP 2:45  And not finding him, they returned unto Jerusalem seeking him.
Luke ABP 2:46  And it came to pass after [2days 1three] they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and questioning them.
Luke ABP 2:47  [6were amazed 1And 2all 3the ones 4hearing 5him] by the understanding and his answers.
Luke ABP 2:48  And seeing him, they were overwhelmed. And [3to 4him 1his mother 2said], Child, why did you so to us? Behold, your father and I were grieving seeking you.
Luke ABP 2:49  And he said to them, Why is it that you seek me, do you not know that [3among 4the things 5of my father 1it is necessary 2for me to be]?
Luke ABP 2:50  And they did not perceive the saying which he spoke to them.
Luke ABP 2:51  And he went down with them and came into Nazareth, and he was being submitted to them. And his mother kept carefully all these sayings in her heart.
Luke ABP 2:52  And Jesus progressed in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
