And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ days²²⁵⁰, that there went out¹⁸³¹ a decree¹³⁷⁸ from³⁸⁴⁴ Caesar²⁵⁴¹ Augustus⁸²⁸ that all³⁹⁵⁶ the world³⁶²⁵ should be taxed⁵⁸³.

Matthew 22:21

(And this³⁷⁷⁸ taxing⁵⁸² was¹⁰⁹⁶ first⁴⁴¹³ made¹⁰⁹⁶ when Cyrenius²⁹⁵⁸ was governor²²³⁰ of Syria⁴⁹⁴⁷.)

And²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ went⁴¹⁹⁸ to be taxed⁵⁸³, every one¹⁵³⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ his own²³⁹⁸ city⁴¹⁷².

And¹¹⁶¹ Joseph²⁵⁰¹ also²⁵³² went up³⁰⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ Galilee¹⁰⁵⁶, out of¹⁵³⁷ the city⁴¹⁷² of Nazareth³⁴⁷⁸, into¹⁵¹⁹ Judaea²⁴⁴⁹, unto¹⁵¹⁹ the city⁴¹⁷² of David¹¹³⁸, which³⁷⁴⁸ is called²⁵⁶⁴ Bethlehem⁹⁶⁵;¹²²³ (because he⁸⁴⁶ was¹⁵¹¹ of¹⁵³⁷ the house³⁶²⁴ and²⁵³² lineage³⁹⁶⁵ of David¹¹³⁸:)

To be taxed⁵⁸³ with⁴⁸⁶² Mary³¹³⁷ his⁸⁴⁶ espoused³⁴²³ wife¹¹³⁵, being⁵⁶⁰⁷ great with child¹⁴⁷¹.

And¹¹⁶¹ so it was¹⁰⁹⁶, that, while¹⁷²² they⁸⁴⁶ were¹⁵¹¹ there¹⁵⁶³, the days²²⁵⁰ were accomplished⁴¹³⁰ that she⁸⁴⁶ should be delivered⁵⁰⁸⁸.

And²⁵³² she brought forth⁵⁰⁸⁸ her⁸⁴⁶ firstborn⁴⁴¹⁶ son⁵²⁰⁷, and²⁵³² wrapped⁴⁶⁸³ him⁸⁴⁶ in swaddling clothes⁴⁶⁸³, and²⁵³² laid³⁴⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² a manger⁵³³⁶; because¹³⁶⁰ there was²²⁵⁸ no³⁷⁵⁶ room⁵¹¹⁷ for them⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the inn²⁶⁴⁶.

And²⁵³² there were²²⁵⁸ in¹⁷²² the same⁸⁴⁶ country⁵⁵⁶¹ shepherds⁴¹⁶⁶ abiding in the field⁶³, keeping⁵⁴⁴² watch⁵⁴³⁸ over¹⁹⁰⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ flock⁴¹⁶⁷ by night³⁵⁷¹.

And²⁵³², lo²⁴⁰⁰, the angel³² of Yahweh²⁹⁶² came upon²¹⁸⁶ them⁸⁴⁶, and²⁵³² the glory¹³⁹¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶² shone round about⁴⁰³⁴ them⁸⁴⁶: and²⁵³² they were sore³¹⁷³ afraid⁵³⁹⁹.

And²⁵³² the angel³² said²⁰³⁶ unto them⁸⁴⁶, Fear⁵³⁹⁹ not³³⁶¹: for¹⁰⁶³, behold²⁴⁰⁰, I bring²⁰⁹⁷ you⁵²¹³ good tidings²⁰⁹⁷ of great³¹⁷³ joy⁵⁴⁷⁹, which³⁷⁴⁸ shall be²⁰⁷¹ to all³⁹⁵⁶ people²⁹⁹².

For³⁷⁵⁴ unto you⁵²¹³ is born⁵⁰⁸⁸ this day⁴⁵⁹⁴ in¹⁷²² the city⁴¹⁷² of David¹¹³⁸ a Saviour⁴⁹⁹⁰, which³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷ the Sovereign²⁹⁶².

Isaiah 9:6

And²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁴ shall be a sign⁴⁵⁹² unto you⁵²¹³; Ye shall find²¹⁴⁷ the babe¹⁰²⁵ wrapped in swaddling clothes⁴⁶⁸³, lying²⁷⁴⁹ in¹⁷²² a manger⁵³³⁶.

And²⁵³² suddenly¹⁸¹⁰ there was¹⁰⁹⁶ with⁴⁸⁶² the angel³² a multitude⁴¹²⁸ of the heavenly³⁷⁷⁰ host⁴⁷⁵⁶ praising¹³⁴ Elohim²³¹⁶, and²⁵³² saying³⁰⁰⁴,

Glory¹³⁹¹ to Elohim²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² the highest⁵³¹⁰, and²⁵³² on¹⁹⁰⁹ earth¹⁰⁹³ peace¹⁵¹⁵, good will²¹⁰⁷ toward¹⁷²² men⁴⁴⁴.

And²⁵³² it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶, as⁵⁶¹³ the angels³² were gone away⁵⁶⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven³⁷⁷², ²⁵³² the shepherds⁴⁴⁴ said²⁰³⁶ one²⁴⁰ to⁴³¹⁴ another²⁴⁰, Let us¹³³⁰ now¹²¹¹ go¹³³⁰ even unto²¹⁹³ Bethlehem⁹⁶⁵, and²⁵³² see¹⁴⁹² this⁵¹²⁴ thing⁴⁴⁸⁷ which is come to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ which³⁷³⁹ Yahweh²⁹⁶² hath made known¹¹⁰⁷ unto us²²⁵⁴.

And²⁵³² they came²⁰⁶⁴ with haste⁴⁶⁹², and²⁵³² found⁴²⁹ Mary³¹³⁷, and²⁵³² Joseph²⁵⁰¹, and²⁵³² the babe¹⁰²⁵ lying²⁷⁴⁹ in¹⁷²² a manger⁵³³⁶.

And¹¹⁶¹ when they had seen¹⁴⁹² it, they made known abroad¹²³² the saying⁴⁰¹² which³⁵⁸⁸ was told²⁹⁸⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ concerning⁴⁰¹² this⁵¹²⁷ child³⁸¹³.

And²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ they that heard¹⁹¹ it wondered²²⁹⁶ at⁴⁰¹² those things which³⁵⁸⁸ were told²⁹⁸⁰ them⁴³¹⁴ by⁵²⁵⁹ the shepherds⁴¹⁶⁶.

But¹¹⁶¹ Mary³¹³⁷ kept⁴⁹³³ all³⁹⁵⁶ these things⁴⁴⁸⁷, and pondered⁴⁸²⁰ them in¹⁷²² her⁸⁴⁶ heart²⁵⁸⁸.

And²⁵³² the shepherds⁴¹⁶⁶ returned¹⁹⁹⁴, glorifying¹³⁹² and²⁵³² praising¹³⁴ Elohim²³¹⁶ for¹⁹⁰⁹ all the things³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷³⁹ they had heard¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² seen¹⁴⁹², as²⁵³¹ it was told²⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶.

And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ eight³⁶³⁸ days²²⁵⁰ were accomplished⁴¹³⁰ for the circumcising⁴⁰⁵⁹ of the child³⁸¹³, ²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ name³⁶⁸⁶ was called²⁵⁶⁴ YAHSHUA²⁴²⁴, which³⁵⁸⁸ was so named²⁵⁶⁴ of⁵²⁵⁹ the angel³² before⁴²⁵³ he⁸⁴⁶ was conceived⁴⁸¹⁵ in¹⁷²² the womb²⁸³⁶.

Genesis 17:11-13; Leviticus 12:2-3

And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ the days²²⁵⁰ of her⁸⁴⁶ purification²⁵¹² according²⁵⁹⁶ to the law³⁵⁵¹ of Moses³⁴⁷⁵ were accomplished⁴¹³⁰, they brought³²¹ him⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴, to present³⁹³⁶ him to Yahweh²⁹⁶²;

(As it is written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁷²² the law³⁵⁵¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶², ³⁷⁵⁴ Every³⁹⁵⁶ male⁷³⁰ that openeth¹²⁷² the womb³³⁸⁸ shall be called²⁵⁶⁴ holy⁴⁰ to Yahweh²⁹⁶²;)

Exodus 13:2

And²⁵³² to offer¹³²⁵ a sacrifice²³⁷⁸ according²⁵⁹⁶ to that which is said²⁰⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the law³⁵⁵¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶², A pair²²⁰¹ of turtledoves⁵¹⁶⁷, or²²²⁸ two¹⁴¹⁷ young³⁵⁰² pigeons⁴⁰⁵⁸.

Leviticus 5:11; Leviticus 12:6

And²⁵³², behold²⁴⁰⁰, there was²²⁵⁸ a man⁴⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹, whose³⁷³⁹ name³⁶⁸⁶ was Simeon⁴⁸²⁶; and²⁵³² the same³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ was just¹³⁴² and²⁵³² devout²¹²⁶, waiting⁴³²⁷ for the consolation³⁸⁷⁴ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴: and²⁵³² the Holy⁴⁰ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ was²²⁵⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶.

And²⁵³² it was²²⁵⁸ revealed⁵⁵³⁷ unto him⁸⁴⁶ by⁵²⁵⁹ the Holy⁴⁰ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹, that he should¹⁴⁹² not³³⁶¹ see¹⁴⁹² death²²⁸⁸, before⁴²⁵⁰ he had seen¹⁴⁹² Yahweh's²⁹⁶² Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷.

And²⁵³² he came²⁰⁶⁴ by¹⁷²² the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the temple²⁴¹¹: and²⁵³² when the parents¹¹¹⁸ brought¹⁵²¹ in¹⁷²² the child³⁸¹³ Yahshua²⁴²⁴, to do⁴¹⁶⁰ for⁴⁰¹² him⁸⁴⁶ after²⁵⁹⁶ the custom¹⁴⁸⁰ of the law³⁵⁵¹,

Then²⁵³² took¹²⁰⁹ he⁸⁴⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ up¹²⁰⁹ in¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ arms⁴³, and²⁵³² blessed²¹²⁷ Elohim²³¹⁶, and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶,

Matthew 19:13; Mark 10:13; Luke 18:15

Sovereign¹²⁰³, now³⁵⁶⁸ lettest thou⁶³⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ servant¹⁴⁰¹ depart⁶³⁰ in¹⁷²² peace¹⁵¹⁵, according²⁵⁹⁶ to thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ word⁴⁴⁸⁷:

For³⁷⁵⁴ mine³⁴⁵⁰ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ have seen¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ salvation⁴⁹⁹²,

Which³⁷³⁹ thou hast prepared²⁰⁹⁰ before²⁵⁹⁶ the face⁴³⁸³ of all³⁹⁵⁶ people²⁹⁹²;

A light⁵⁴⁵⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ lighten⁶⁰² the Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴, and²⁵³² the glory¹³⁹¹ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ people²⁹⁹² Israel²⁴⁷⁴.

And²⁵³² Joseph²⁵⁰¹ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ mother³³⁸⁴ marvelled²²⁵⁸ at¹⁹⁰⁹ those things which were spoken²⁹⁸⁰ of⁴⁰¹² him⁸⁴⁶.

And²⁵³² Simeon⁴⁸²⁶ blessed²¹²⁷ them⁸⁴⁶, and²⁵³² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ Mary³¹³⁷ his⁸⁴⁶ mother³³⁸⁴, Behold²⁴⁰⁰, this³⁷⁷⁸ child is set²⁷⁴⁹ for¹⁵¹⁹ the fall⁴⁴³¹ and²⁵³² rising again³⁸⁶ of many⁴¹⁸³ in¹⁷²² Israel²⁴⁷⁴; and²⁵³² for¹⁵¹⁹ a sign⁴⁵⁹² which shall be spoken against⁴⁸³;

(Yea, a sword⁴⁵⁰¹ shall pierce through¹³³⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ own⁸⁴⁶ soul⁵⁵⁹⁰ also²⁵³²,) that³⁷⁰⁴ the thoughts¹²⁶¹ of¹⁵³⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ may be revealed⁶⁰¹.

Hebrews 4:12

And²⁵³² there was²²⁵⁸ one Anna⁴⁵¹, a prophetess⁴³⁹⁸, the daughter²³⁶⁴ of Phanuel⁵³²³, of¹⁵³⁷ the tribe⁵⁴⁴³ of Aser⁷⁶⁸: she³⁷⁷⁸ was of a great⁴¹⁸³ age²²⁵⁰, and had lived²¹⁹⁸ with³³²⁶ an husband⁴³⁵ seven²⁰³³ years²⁰⁹⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ her⁸⁴⁶ virginity³⁹³²;

And²⁵³² she³⁷⁷⁸ was a widow⁵⁵⁰³ of about⁵⁶¹³ fourscore³⁵⁸⁹ and four⁵⁰⁶⁴ years²⁰⁹⁴, which³⁷³⁹ departed⁸⁶⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the temple²⁴¹¹, but served³⁰⁰⁰ Elohim with fastings³⁵²¹ and²⁵³² prayers¹¹⁶² night³⁵⁷¹ and²⁵³² day²²⁵⁰.

And²⁵³² she³⁷⁷⁸ coming in²¹⁸⁶ that⁸⁴⁶ instant⁵⁶¹⁰ gave thanks likewise⁴³⁷ unto Yahweh²⁹⁶², and²⁵³² spake²⁹⁸⁰ of⁴⁰¹² him⁸⁴⁶ to all³⁹⁵⁶ them that looked⁴³²⁷ for redemption³⁰⁸⁵ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹.

And²⁵³² when⁵⁶¹³ they had performed⁵⁰⁵⁵ all things⁵³⁷ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the law³⁵⁵¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶², they returned⁵²⁹⁰ into¹⁵¹⁹ Galilee¹⁰⁵⁶, to¹⁵¹⁹ their own⁸⁴⁶ city⁴¹⁷² Nazareth³⁴⁷⁸.

And¹¹⁶¹ the child³⁸¹³ grew⁸³⁷, and²⁵³² waxed strong²⁹⁰¹ in spirit⁴¹⁵¹, filled⁴¹³⁷ with wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸: and²⁵³² the grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of Elohim²³¹⁶ was²²⁵⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶.

Now²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ parents¹¹¹⁸ went⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ every²⁵⁹⁶ year²⁰⁹⁴ at the feast¹⁸⁵⁹ of the passover³⁹⁵⁷.

And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ he was¹⁰⁹⁶ twelve¹⁴²⁷ years old²⁰⁹⁴, they⁸⁴⁶ went up³⁰⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁴ after²⁵⁹⁶ the custom¹⁴⁸⁵ of the feast¹⁸⁵⁹.

And²⁵³² when they had fulfilled⁵⁰⁴⁸ the days²²⁵⁰, as¹⁷²² they⁸⁴⁶ returned⁵²⁹⁰, the child³⁸¹⁶ Yahshua²⁴²⁴ tarried behind⁵²⁷⁸ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹; and²⁵³² Joseph²⁵⁰¹ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ mother³³⁸⁴ knew¹⁰⁹⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ of it.

But¹¹⁶¹ they, supposing³⁵⁴³ him⁸⁴⁶ to have been¹⁵¹¹ in¹⁷²² the company⁴⁹²³, went²⁰⁶⁴ a day's²²⁵⁰ journey³⁵⁹⁸; and²⁵³² they sought³²⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ among¹⁷²² their kinsfolk⁴⁷⁷³ and²⁵³² acquaintance¹¹¹⁰.

And²⁵³² when they found²¹⁴⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ not³³⁶¹, they turned back again⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹, seeking²²¹² him⁸⁴⁶.

And²⁵³² it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶, that after³³²⁶ three⁵¹⁴⁰ days²²⁵⁰ they found²¹⁴⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the temple²⁴¹¹, sitting²⁵¹⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of the doctors¹³²⁰, both²⁵³² hearing¹⁹¹ them⁸⁴⁶, and²⁵³² asking¹⁹⁰⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ questions¹⁹⁰⁵.

And¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that heard¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ were astonished¹⁸³⁹ at¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ understanding⁴⁹⁰⁷ and²⁵³² answers⁶¹².

And²⁵³² when they saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶, they were amazed¹⁶⁰⁵: and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ mother³³⁸⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶, Son⁵⁰⁴³, why⁵¹⁰¹ hast thou⁴¹⁶⁰ thus³⁷⁷⁹ dealt⁴¹⁶⁰ with us²²⁵⁴? behold²⁴⁰⁰, thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ father³⁹⁶² and I²⁵⁰⁴ have sought²²¹² thee⁴⁵⁷¹ sorrowing³⁶⁰⁰.

And²⁵³² he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them⁸⁴⁶, How⁵¹⁰¹ is it that³⁷⁵⁴ ye sought²²¹² me³¹⁶⁵? wist ye¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ I³¹⁶⁵ must¹¹⁶³ be¹⁵¹¹ about¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ Father's business³⁹⁶²?

And²⁵³² they⁸⁴⁶ understood⁴⁹²⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ the saying⁴⁴⁸⁷ which³⁷³⁹ he spake²⁹⁸⁰ unto them⁸⁴⁶.

And²⁵³² he went down²⁵⁹⁷ with³³²⁶ them⁸⁴⁶, and²⁵³² came²⁰⁶⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Nazareth³⁴⁷⁸, and²⁵³² was²²⁵⁸ subject⁵²⁹³ unto them⁸⁴⁶: but²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ mother³³⁸⁴ kept¹³⁰¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ these⁵⁰²³ sayings⁴⁴⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² her⁸⁴⁶ heart²⁵⁸⁸.

And²⁵³² Yahshua²⁴²⁴ increased⁴²⁹⁸ in wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ and²⁵³² stature²²⁴⁴, and²⁵³² in favour⁵⁴⁸⁵ with³⁸⁴⁴ Yahweh²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² man⁴⁴⁴.
