And all were going to be registered, each one to his own city.
4.
And Yoseph also went up from Galil, out of the city of Natsareth to Yehudah, to the city of Dawid, which is called Beyth Lehem, because he was of the house and lineage of Dawid,

to be registered with Miryam, who was engaged to him - being pregnant.

And it came to be, that while they were there, the days were filled for her to give birth.

The Shepherds and the Angels...

And in the same country there were shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9.
And look, a messenger of YHWH stood before them, and the esteem of YHWH shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.

And the messenger said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for look, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be to all people.

14.
`Esteem to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!`
15.
And it came to be, when the messengers had gone away from them into the heaven, that the shepherds said to each other, 'Indeed, let us go to Beyth Lehem and see this matter that has taken place, which the Master has made known to us.'
16.
And they came in haste and found Miryam and Yoseph, and the baby lying in a feeding trough.

And having seen, they made known the matter which was spoken to them concerning the child.
18.
And all those who heard marvelled at what the shepherds said to them.

And the shepherds returned, boasting and praising Elohim for all they had heard and seen, as it was spoken to them.
Jesus Presented in the Temple...
21.
And when eight days were completed for Him to be circumcised, His Name was called Yahushua, the Name given by the messenger before He was conceived in the womb.
22.
And when the days of her cleansing according to the Torah of Mosheh were completed, they brought Him to Yerushalayim to present Him to YHWH -
23.
as it has been written in the Torah of YHWH, `Every male who opens the womb shall be called set-apart to YHWH` -
24.
and to give an offering according to what is said in the Torah of YHWH, `A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.`
25.
And see, there was a man in Yerushalayim whose name was Shim'on, and this man was righteous and dedicated, looking for the comforting of Yisra'el. And the Set-apart Spirit was upon him.
26.
And it had been revealed to him by the Set-apart Spirit that he would not see death before he sees the Messiah of YHWH.
27.
And he came in the Spirit into the Set-apart Place. And as the parents brought in the Child Yahushua, to do for Him according to the usual practice of the Torah,
28.
then he took Him up in his arms and blessed Elohim and said,
29.
'Now let Your servant go in peace, O Master, according to Your word,
30.
for my eyes have seen Your deliverance,
31.
which You have prepared before the face of all the peoples,
32.
a light for the unveiling of the gentiles, and the esteem of Your people Yisra'el.'
33.
And Yoseph and His mother were marvelling at what was said about Him.
34.
And Shim'on blessed them, and said to Miryam His mother, 'See, this One is set for a fall and rising of many in Yisra'el, and for a sign spoken against -
35.
and a sword shall pierce through your own being also - so as to reveal the thoughts of many hearts.'
36.
And there was Hannah, a prophetess, a daughter of Penu'el, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, and had lived with a husband seven years from her maidenhood,
37.
and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not leave the Set-apart Place, but served Elohim with fastings and prayers night and day.
38.
And she, coming in at that moment, gave thanks to YHWH, and spoke of Him to all who were waiting for redemption in Yerushalayim.

41.
And His parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the Festival of the Passover.
42.
And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Yerushalayim according to the practice of the festival.
43.
When they had accomplished the days, as they returned, the Child Yahushua stayed behind in Yerushalayim. And His parents did not know it,
44.
but thinking He was in the company, they went a day's journey, and were seeking Him among the relatives and friends.
45.
And not having found Him, they returned to Yerushalayim, seeking Him.
46.

47.
And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
48.
And having seen Him, they were amazed. And His mother said to Him, 'Son, why have You done this to us? See, Your father and I have been anxiously seeking You.'
49.
And He said to them, 'Why were you seeking Me? Did you not know that I had to be in the matters of My Father?'
50.
But they did not understand the word which He spoke to them.
51.
And He went down with them and came to Natsareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these matters in her heart.
52.
And Yahushua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with Elohim and men.
