In those days a decree went out from Caesar
Augustus that all the world should be registered.
This was the first registration when Quirinius
was governor of Syria. And all went to be
registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also
went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth,
to Judea, to the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the house and
lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his
betrothed, who was with child. And while they
were there, the time came for her to give birth.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son and
wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a
manger, because there was no place for them in
the inn.Luke 21-7

And when the time came for their purification
according to the Law of Moses, they brought him
up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it
is written in the Law of the Lord, Every male
who first opens the womb shall be called holy to
the Lord) and to offer a sacrifice according to
what is said in the Law of the Lord, a pair of
turtledoves, or two young pigeons.Luke 222-24

And when they had performed everything according
to the Law of the Lord, they returned into
Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. And the
child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom.
And the favor of God was upon him.Luke 239,40

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at
the Feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve
years old, they went up according to custom. And
when the feast was ended, as they were returning,
the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His
parents did not know it . . . and when they did
not find him, they returned to Jerusalem,
searching for him. After three days they found
him in the temple, sitting among the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions. And
all who heard him were amazed at his
understanding and his answers. And when his
parents saw him, they were astonished. And his
mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us
so? Behold, your father and I have been searching
for you in great distress. And he said to them,
Why were you looking for me? Did you not know
that I must be in my Fathers house?And they did
not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth
and was submissive to them. And his mother
treasured up all these things in her heart.And
Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in
favor with God and man.Luke 241-52
