00:01.280 --> 00:06.520
And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar

00:06.520 --> 00:09.720
Augustus, that all the world should be
taxed.

00:10.240 --> 00:14.200
And this taxing was first made when
Cyrenius was governor of Syria,

00:14.700 --> 00:18.380
and all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city.

00:19.340 --> 00:24.180
And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea,

00:24.740 --> 00:29.300
unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the house and

00:29.300 --> 00:35.100
lineage of David, to be taxed with Mary
his espoused wife, being great with child.

00:36.280 --> 00:41.060
And so it was, that while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should

00:41.060 --> 00:41.560
be delivered.

00:42.520 --> 00:47.020
And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,

00:47.320 --> 00:51.020
and laid him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn.

00:52.260 --> 00:56.260
And there were in the same country,
shepherds abiding in the field,

00:56.260 --> 00:58.700
keeping watch over their flock by night.

00:59.660 --> 01:05.520
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone

01:05.520 --> 01:08.280
round about them, and they were sore
afraid.

01:09.000 --> 01:14.800
And the angel said unto them, Fear not,
for behold, I bring you good tidings of

01:14.800 --> 01:17.500
great joy, which shall be to all people.

01:18.500 --> 01:24.720
For unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour, which is Christ the

01:24.720 --> 01:25.080
Lord.

01:25.080 --> 01:28.280
And this shall be a sign unto you.

01:29.120 --> 01:34.060
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

01:34.600 --> 01:38.920
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host,

01:39.100 --> 01:44.500
praising God and saying, Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace,

01:45.020 --> 01:46.140
good will toward men.

01:46.580 --> 01:50.280
And it came to pass, as the angels were
gone away from them into heaven,

01:50.680 --> 01:55.040
the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,

01:55.120 --> 02:00.160
and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.

02:00.460 --> 02:05.880
And they came with haste, and found Mary
and Joseph and the babe lying in a manger.

02:06.720 --> 02:11.560
And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which was told them

02:11.560 --> 02:12.720
concerning this child.

02:13.660 --> 02:17.260
And all they that heard it wondered at
those things which were told them by the

02:17.260 --> 02:17.780
shepherds.

02:17.780 --> 02:23.240
But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.

02:24.360 --> 02:29.040
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things that they

02:29.040 --> 02:31.940
had heard and seen, as it was told unto
them.

02:33.160 --> 02:36.480
And when eight days were accomplished for
the circumcising of the child,

02:37.260 --> 02:42.860
his name was called Jesus, which was so
named of the angel before he was conceived

02:42.860 --> 02:43.560
in the womb.

02:44.880 --> 02:48.500
And when the days of her purification,
according to the law of Moses,

02:48.640 --> 02:52.700
were accomplished, they brought him to
Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

02:53.500 --> 02:58.360
As it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that openeth the womb shall be

02:58.360 --> 03:03.500
called holy to the Lord, and to offer a
sacrifice according to that which is said

03:03.500 --> 03:07.540
in the law of the Lord, a pair of
turtledoves or two young pigeons.

03:08.820 --> 03:13.120
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem
whose name was Simeon.

03:13.580 --> 03:18.360
And the same man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel.

03:19.240 --> 03:20.960
And the Holy Ghost was upon him.

03:22.020 --> 03:27.360
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy
Ghost that he should not see death before

03:27.360 --> 03:28.980
he had seen the Lord's Christ.

03:29.940 --> 03:32.320
And he came by the Spirit into the temple.

03:33.060 --> 03:37.260
And when the parents brought in the child
Jesus to do for him after the custom of

03:37.260 --> 03:43.280
the law, then took he him up in his arms
and blessed God and said, Lord,

03:43.900 --> 03:47.680
now lettest thou thy servant depart in
peace according to thy word.

03:48.600 --> 03:53.100
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
which thou hast prepared before the face

03:53.100 --> 03:58.480
of all people, a light to lighten the
Gentiles and the glory of thy people

03:58.480 --> 03:58.940
Israel.

03:59.340 --> 04:03.260
And Joseph and his mother marveled at
those things which were spoken of him.

04:04.200 --> 04:10.920
And Simeon blessed them and said unto Mary
his mother, Behold, this child is set for

04:10.920 --> 04:16.500
the fall and rising again of many in
Israel and for a sign which shall be

04:16.500 --> 04:17.600
spoken against.

04:18.640 --> 04:24.180
Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own
soul also that the thoughts of many hearts

04:24.180 --> 04:25.120
may be revealed.

04:25.580 --> 04:30.060
And there was one Anna, a prophetess,
the daughter of Phineul of the tribe of

04:30.060 --> 04:30.400
Aser.

04:31.200 --> 04:36.320
She was of a great age and had lived with
an husband seven years from her virginity.

04:36.860 --> 04:42.440
And she was a widow of about fourscore and
four years, which departed not from the

04:42.440 --> 04:46.940
temple but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day.

04:48.100 --> 04:53.380
And she, coming in that instant,
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord and

04:53.380 --> 04:56.640
spake of him to all them that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem.

04:58.020 --> 05:01.240
And when they had performed all things
according to the law of the Lord,

05:01.760 --> 05:04.960
they returned into Galilee to their own
city Nazareth.

05:05.680 --> 05:11.520
And the child grew and waxed strong in
spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace

05:11.520 --> 05:12.740
of God was upon him.

05:13.860 --> 05:17.720
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every
year at the feast of the Passover.

05:18.500 --> 05:22.540
And when he was twelve years old,
they went up to Jerusalem after the custom

05:22.540 --> 05:23.180
of the feast.

05:24.500 --> 05:29.880
And when they had fulfilled the days,
as they returned, the child Jesus tarried

05:29.880 --> 05:33.800
behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it.

05:34.480 --> 05:38.820
But they, supposing him to have been in
the company, went a day's journey,

05:39.440 --> 05:41.780
and they sought him among their kinsfolk
and acquaintance.

05:42.620 --> 05:46.740
And when they found him not, they turned
back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

05:47.660 --> 05:53.180
And it came to pass that after three days
they found him in the temple, sitting in

05:53.180 --> 05:57.220
the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them and asking them questions.

05:58.240 --> 06:02.540
And all that heard him were astonished at
his understanding and answers.

06:03.140 --> 06:05.620
And when they saw him, they were amazed.

06:05.620 --> 06:10.080
And his mother said unto him, Son,
why hast thou thus dealt with us?

06:10.620 --> 06:13.860
Behold, thy father and I have sought thee
sorrowing.

06:14.140 --> 06:17.380
And he said unto them, How is it that ye
sought me?

06:17.900 --> 06:20.580
Wist ye not that I must be about my
father's business?

06:21.360 --> 06:24.480
And they understood not the saying which
he spake unto them.

06:25.460 --> 06:29.780
And he went down with them, and came to
Nazareth, and was subject unto them.

06:30.440 --> 06:33.460
But his mother kept all these sayings in
her heart.

06:34.320 --> 06:40.320
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and man.
