Luke 2:37-52

2:37

And
<2532>

she
<3778>

[was] a widow
<5503>

of about
<5613>

fourscore
<3589>

and four
<5064>

years
<2094>_,

which
<3739>

departed
<868> (5711)

not
<3756>

from
<575>

the temple
<2411>_,

but served
<3000> (5723)

[God] with fastings
<3521>

and
<2532>

prayers
<1162>

night
<3571>

and
<2532>

day
<2250>_.

2:38

And
<2532>

she
<3778> (5625) <846>

coming in
<2186> (5631)

that
<846>

instant
<5610>

gave thanks likewise
<437> (5711)

unto the Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

spake
<2980> (5707)

of
<4012>

him
<846>

to all
<3956>

them that looked
<4327> (5740)

for redemption
<3085>

in
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2419>_.

{Jerusalem: or, Israel}

2:39

And
<2532>

when
<5613>

they had performed
<5055> (5656)

all things
<537>

according
<2596>

to the law
<3551>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

they returned
<5290> (5656)

into
<1519>

Galilee
<1056>_,

to
<1519>

their own
<846>

city
<4172>

Nazareth
<3478>_.

2:40

And
<1161>

the child
<3813>

grew
<837> (5707)_,

and
<2532>

waxed strong
<2901> (5712)

in spirit
<4151>_,

filled
<4137> (5746)

with wisdom
<4678>_:

and
<2532>

the grace
<5485>

of God
<2316>

was
<2258> (5713)

upon
<1909>

him
<846>_.

2:41

Now
<2532>

his
<846>

parents
<1118>

went
<4198> (5711)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>

every
<2596>

year
<2094>

at the feast
<1859>

of the passover
<3957>_.

2:42

And
<2532>

when
<3753>

he was
<1096> (5633)

twelve
<1427>

years old
<2094>_,

they
<846>

went up
<305> (5631)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2414>

after
<2596>

the custom
<1485>

of the feast
<1859>_.

2:43

And
<2532>

when they had fulfilled
<5048> (5660)

the days
<2250>_,

as
<1722>

they
<846>

returned
<5290> (5721)_,

the child
<3816>

Jesus
<2424>

tarried behind
<5278> (5656)

in
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2419>_;

and
<2532>

Joseph
<2501>

and
<2532>

his
<846>

mother
<3384>

knew
<1097> (5627)

not
<3756>

[of it].

2:44

But
<1161>

they, supposing
<3543> (5660)

him
<846>

to have been
<1511> (5750)

in
<1722>

the company
<4923>_,

went
<2064> (5627)

a day's
<2250>

journey
<3598>_;

and
<2532>

they sought
<327> (5707)

him
<846>

among
<1722>

[their] kinsfolk
<4773>

and
<2532> <1722>

acquaintance
<1110>_.

2:45

And
<2532>

when they found
<2147> (5631)

him
<846>

not
<3361>_,

they turned back again
<5290> (5656)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

seeking
<2212> (5723)

him
<846>_.

2:46

And
<2532>

it came to pass
<1096> (5633)_,

that after
<3326>

three
<5140>

days
<2250>

they found
<2147> (5627)

him
<846>

in
<1722>

the temple
<2411>_,

sitting
<2516> (5740)

in
<1722>

the midst
<3319>

of the doctors
<1320>_,

both
<2532>

hearing
<191> (5723)

them
<846>_,

and
<2532>

asking
<1905> (0)

them
<846>

questions
<1905> (5723)_.

2:47

And
<1161>

all
<3956>

that heard
<191> (5723)

him
<846>

were astonished
<1839> (5710)

at
<1909>

his
<846>

understanding
<4907>

and
<2532>

answers
<612>_.

2:48

And
<2532>

when they saw
<1492> (5631)

him
<846>_,

they were amazed
<1605> (5648)_:

and
<2532>

his
<846>

mother
<3384>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

him
<846>_,

Son
<5043>_,

why
<5101>

hast thou
<4160> (0)

thus
<3779>

dealt
<4160> (5656)

with us
<2254>_?

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

thy
<4675>

father
<3962>

and I
<2504>

have sought
<2212> (5707)

thee
<4571>

sorrowing
<3600> (5746)_.

2:49

And
<2532>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_,

How
<5101>

is it that
<3754>

ye sought
<2212> (5707)

me
<3165>_?

wist ye
<1492> (5715)

not
<3756>

that
<3754>

I
<3165>

must
<1163> (5748)

be
<1511> (5750)

about
<1722>

my
<3450>

Father's business
<3962>_?

2:50

And
<2532>

they
<846>

understood
<4920> (5656)

not
<3756>

the saying
<4487>

which
<3739>

he spake
<2980> (5656)

unto them
<846>_.

2:51

And
<2532>

he went down
<2597> (5627)

with
<3326>

them
<846>_,

and
<2532>

came
<2064> (5627)

to
<1519>

Nazareth
<3478>_,

and
<2532>

was
<2258> (5713)

subject
<5293> (5746)

unto them
<846>_:

but
<2532>

his
<846>

mother
<3384>

kept
<1301> (5707)

all
<3956>

these
<5023>

sayings
<4487>

in
<1722>

her
<846>

heart
<2588>_.

2:52

And
<2532>

Jesus
<2424>

increased
<4298> (5707)

in wisdom
<4678>

and
<2532>

stature
<2244>_,

and
<2532>

in favour
<5485>

with
<3844>

God
<2316>

and
<2532>

man
<444>_.
