Luke 1:34“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”Luke 1:35The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.Luke 1:36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.Luke 1:37For no word from God will ever fail.”Luke 1:38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.Luke 1:39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,Luke 1:40where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.Luke 1:41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.Luke 1:42In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!Luke 1:43And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?Luke 1:44For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.Luke 1:45Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”Luke 1:46Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,Luke 1:47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!Luke 1:48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.Luke 1:49For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.Luke 1:50His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.Luke 1:51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.Luke 1:52He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.Luke 1:53He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.Luke 1:54He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,Luke 1:55as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”Luke 1:56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.Luke 1:78because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,Luke 1:79to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”Luke 2:1Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.Luke 2:2This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.Luke 2:3And everyone went to his own town to register.Luke 2:4So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.Luke 2:5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.Luke 2:6While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.Luke 2:7And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.Luke 2:8And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.Luke 2:9Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.Luke 2:10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:Luke 2:11Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!Luke 2:12And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”Luke 2:13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:Luke 2:14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”Luke 2:15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”Luke 2:16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.Luke 2:17After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.Luke 2:18And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.Luke 2:19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.Luke 2:20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.Luke 2:21When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.Luke 2:22And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the LordLuke 2:23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),Luke 2:24and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”Luke 2:25Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.Luke 2:26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.Luke 2:27Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,Luke 2:28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:Luke 2:29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.Luke 2:30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,Luke 2:31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,Luke 2:32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”Luke 2:33The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.Luke 2:34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,Luke 2:35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
