King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. 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[G3588] world[G3625] should be taxed.[G583]

2. (And this[G3778] taxing[G582] was first[G4413] made[G1096] when Cyrenius[G2958] was governor[G2230] of Syria.)[G4947]

3. And[G2532] all[G3956] went[G4198] to be taxed,[G583] every one[G1538] into[G1519] his own[G2398] city.[G4172]

4. And[G1161] Joseph[G2501] also[G2532] went up[G305] from[G575] Galilee,[G1056] out of[G1537] the city[G4172] of Nazareth,[G3478] into[G1519] Judea,[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]

5. To be taxed[G583] with[G4862] Mary[G3137] his[G846] espoused[G3423] wife,[G1135] being[G5607] great with child.[G1471]

6. And[G1161] so it was,[G1096] that, while they[G846] were[G1511] there,[G1563] the[G3588] days[G2250] were accomplished[G4130] that she[G846] should be delivered.[G5088]

7. And[G2532] she brought forth[G5088] her[G848] firstborn[G4416] son,[G5207] and[G2532] wrapped him in swaddling clothes,[G4683] [G846] 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[G3588] inn.[G2646]

8. And[G2532] there were[G2258] in[G1722] the[G3588] same[G846] country[G5561] shepherds[G4166] abiding in[G63] the field,[G2532] keeping[G5442] watch[G5438] over[G1909] their[G848] flock[G4167] by night.[G3571]

9. And,[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 afraid.[G5399] [G3173] [G5401]

10. And[G2532] the[G3588] angel[G32] said[G2036] unto them,[G846] Fear[G5399] not:[G3361] for,[G1063] behold,[G2400] I bring you good tidings[G2097] [G5213] of great[G3173] joy,[G5479] which[G3748] shall be[G2071] to all[G3956] people.[G2992]

11. For[G3754] unto you[G5213] is born[G5088] this day[G4594] in[G1722] the city[G4172] of David[G1138] a Savior,[G4990] which[G3739] is[G2076] Christ[G5547] the Lord.[G2962]

12. And[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]

13. And[G2532] suddenly[G1810] there was[G1096] with[G4862] the[G3588] angel[G32] a multitude[G4128] of the heavenly[G3770] host[G4756] praising[G134] God,[G2316] and[G2532] saying,[G3004]

14. Glory[G1391] to God[G2316] in[G1722] the highest,[G5310] and[G2532] on[G1909] earth[G1093] peace,[G1515] good will[G2107] toward[G1722] men.[G444]

15. And[G2532] it came to pass,[G1096] as[G5613] the[G3588] angels[G32] were gone away[G565] from[G575] them[G846] into[G1519] heaven,[G3772] [G444] the[G3588] shepherds[G4166] said[G2036] one to another,[G240] [G4314] Let us now go[G1330] even[G1211] unto[G2193] Bethlehem,[G965] and[G2532] see[G1492] this[G5124] thing[G4487] which is come to pass,[G1096] which[G3739] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] hath made known[G1107] unto us.[G2254]

16. And[G2532] they came[G2064] with haste,[G4692] and[G2532] found[G429] [G5037] Mary,[G3137] and[G2532] Joseph,[G2501] and[G2532] the[G3588] babe[G1025] lying[G2749] in[G1722] a manger.[G5336]

17. And[G1161] when they had seen[G1492] it, they made known[G1232] abroad[G4012] the[G3588] saying[G4487] which was told[G2980] them[G846] concerning[G4012] this[G5127] child.[G3813]

18. And[G2532] all[G3956] they that heard[G191] it wondered[G2296] at[G4012] those things which were told[G2980] them[G846] by[G5259] the[G3588] shepherds.[G4166]

19. But[G1161] Mary[G3137] kept[G4933] all[G3956] these[G5023] things,[G4487] and pondered[G4820] them in[G1722] her[G848] heart.[G2588]

20. And[G2532] the[G3588] shepherds[G4166] returned,[G1994] glorifying[G1392] and[G2532] praising[G134] God[G2316] for[G1909] all[G3956] the things that[G3739] they had heard[G191] and[G2532] seen,[G1492] as[G2531] it was told[G2980] unto[G4314] them.[G846]

21. And[G2532] when[G3753] eight[G3638] days[G2250] were accomplished[G4130] for the circumcising[G4059] of the[G3588] child,[G3813] [G2532] his[G846] name[G3686] was called[G2564] JESUS,[G2424] which was so named[G2564] of[G5259] the[G3588] angel[G32] before[G4253] he[G846] was conceived[G4815] in[G1722] the[G3588] womb.[G2836]

22. And[G2532] when[G3753] the[G3588] days[G2250] of her[G846] purification[G2512] according[G2596] to the[G3588] law[G3551] of Moses[G3475] were accomplished,[G4130] they brought[G321] him[G846] to[G1519] Jerusalem,[G2414] to present[G3936] him to the[G3588] Lord;[G2962]

23. (As[G2531] it is written[G1125] in[G1722] the law[G3551] of the Lord,[G2962] Every[G3956] male[G730] that openeth[G1272] the womb[G3388] shall be called[G2564] holy[G40] to the[G3588] Lord;)[G2962]

24. And[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]

25. And,[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 for[G4327] the consolation[G3874] of Israel:[G2474] and[G2532] the Holy[G40] Ghost[G4151] was[G2258] upon[G1909] him.[G846]

26. And[G2532] it was[G2258] revealed[G5537] unto him[G846] by[G5259] the[G3588] Holy[G40] Ghost,[G4151] that he should not[G3361] see[G1492] death,[G2288] before[G4250] he had seen[G1492] the Lord's[G2962] Christ.[G5547]

27. And[G2532] he came[G2064] by[G1722] the[G3588] Spirit[G4151] into[G1519] the[G3588] temple:[G2411] and[G2532] when the[G3588] parents[G1118] brought in[G1521] the[G3588] child[G3813] Jesus,[G2424] to do[G4160] for[G4012] him[G846] after[G2596] the[G3588] custom[G1480] of the[G3588] law,[G3551]

28. Then[G2532] took he him up[G1209] [G846] [G846] in[G1519] his[G848] arms,[G43] and[G2532] blessed[G2127] God,[G2316] and[G2532] said,[G2036]

29. Lord,[G1203] now[G3568] lettest thou thy[G4675] servant[G1401] depart[G630] in[G1722] peace,[G1515] according[G2596] to thy[G4675] word: [G4487]

30. For[G3754] mine[G3450] eyes[G3788] have seen[G1492] thy[G4675] salvation,[G4992]

31. Which[G3739] thou hast prepared[G2090] before[G2596] the face[G4383] of all[G3956] people;[G2992]

32. A light[G5457] to[G1519] lighten[G602] the Gentiles,[G1484] and[G2532] the glory[G1391] of thy[G4675] people[G2992] Israel.[G2474]

33. And[G2532] Joseph[G2501] and[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384] marveled[G2258] [G2296] at[G1909] those things which were spoken[G2980] of[G4012] him.[G846]

34. And[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[G846] sword[G4501] shall pierce through[G1330] thy own[G846] soul[G5590] also,)[G2532] that[G3704] the thoughts[G1261] of[G1537] many[G4183] hearts[G2588] may be revealed.[G601] [G302]

36. And[G2532] there was[G2258] one Anna,[G451] a prophetess,[G4398] the daughter[G2364] of Phanuel,[G5323] of[G1537] the tribe[G5443] of Asher:[G768] she[G3778] was of a great age,[G4260] [G1722] [G4183] [G2250] and had lived[G2198] with[G3326] a husband[G435] seven[G2033] years[G2094] from[G575] her[G848] virginity;[G3932]

37. And[G2532] she[G3778] was a widow[G5503] of about[G5613] fourscore and and four[G3589] [G5064] years,[G2094] which[G3739] departed[G868] not[G3756] from[G575] the[G3588] temple,[G2411] but served[G3000] God with fastings[G3521] and[G2532] prayers[G1162] night[G3571] and[G2532] day.[G2250]

38. And[G2532] she[G3778] coming[G2186] in that instant[G846] [G5610] gave thanks[G437] likewise unto the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] and[G2532] spake[G2980] of[G4012] him[G846] to all[G3956] them that looked for[G4327] redemption[G3085] in[G1722] Jerusalem.[G2419]

39. And[G2532] when[G5613] they had performed[G5055] all things[G537] according[G2596] to the[G3588] law[G3551] of the Lord,[G2962] they returned[G5290] into[G1519] Galilee,[G1056] to[G1519] their own[G848] city[G4172] Nazareth.[G3478]

40. And[G1161] the[G3588] 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]

41. Now[G2532] his[G846] parents[G1118] went[G4198] to[G1519] Jerusalem[G2419] every year[G2596] [G2094] at the[G3588] feast[G1859] of the[G3588] passover.[G3957]

42. And[G2532] when[G3753] he was[G1096] twelve years old,[G1427] [G2094] they[G846] went up[G305] to[G1519] Jerusalem[G2414] after[G2596] the[G3588] custom[G1485] of the[G3588] feast.[G1859]

43. And[G2532] when they had fulfilled[G5048] the[G3588] days,[G2250] as they[G846] returned,[G5290] the[G3588] 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.

44. But[G1161] they, supposing[G3543] him[G846] to have been[G1511] in[G1722] the[G3588] 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]

45. And[G2532] when they found[G2147] him[G846] not,[G3361] they turned back again[G5290] to[G1519] Jerusalem,[G2419] seeking[G2212] him.[G846]

46. And[G2532] it came to pass,[G1096] that after[G3326] three[G5140] days[G2250] they found[G2147] him[G846] in[G1722] the[G3588] temple,[G2411] sitting[G2516] in[G1722] the midst[G3319] of the[G3588] doctors,[G1320] both[G2532] hearing[G191] them,[G846] and[G2532] asking them questions.[G1905] [G846]

47. And[G1161] all[G3956] that heard[G191] him[G846] were astonished[G1839] at[G1909] his[G846] understanding[G4907] and[G2532] answers.[G612]

48. And[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 thus[G3779] dealt[G4160] with us?[G2254] behold,[G2400] thy[G4675] father[G3962] and I[G2504] have sought[G2212] thee[G4571] sorrowing.[G3600]

49. And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto[G4314] them,[G846] How[G5101] is it that[G3754] ye sought[G2212] me?[G3165] wist[G1492] ye not[G3756] that[G3754] I[G3165] must[G1163] be[G1511] about[G1722] my[G3450] Father's business?[G3588] [G3962]

50. And[G2532] they[G846] understood[G4920] not[G3756] the[G3588] saying[G4487] which[G3739] he spake[G2980] unto them.[G846]

51. And[G2532] he went down[G2597] with[G3326] them,[G846] and[G2532] came[G2064] to[G1519] Nazareth,[G3478] and[G2532] was[G2258] subject unto[G5293] them:[G846] but[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384] kept[G1301] all[G3956] these[G5023] sayings[G4487] in[G1722] her[G848] heart.[G2588]

52. And[G2532] Jesus[G2424] increased[G4298] in wisdom[G4678] and[G2532] stature,[G2244] and[G2532] in favor[G5485] with[G3844] God[G2316] and[G2532] man.[G444]
