Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Luke the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Luke 2 : 40 - 52
Chapter 2
| 40 | And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
|
| 41 | His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
|
| 42 | And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
|
| 43 | When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;
|
| 44 | but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
|
| 45 | So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
|
| 46 | Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
|
| 47 | And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
|
| 48 | So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."
|
| 49 | And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"
|
| 50 | But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
|
| 51 | Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.
|
| 52 | And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
