This Week's Gospel: Luke 2: 22 - 40
(28th-Dec-2008) The Holy Family, Year B

The child grew, filled with wisdom.
The reading is incorporate in the following capitula. Verses 21 – 39 comprise VII. Then a whole series of incidents are inserted before the sequence starting with verse 40 is reached. The harmonizer clearly considered that Luke had a major omission here.
Verses 22 – 40 are taken entirely from Luke, but the insertion from the harmonizer is taken from a continuous sequence in Matthew.

VII. Ubi Ihesus ductus est a parentibus ut circumcideretur.
(Where Jesus is taken by his parents to be circumcised.)
VIII. De magis qui venerunt ab oriente.
(Of the wise men who came from the East.)
VIIII. Ubi fugatus Ihesus et parentes eius in Ægyptum transierunt.
(Where Jesus and his parents went into exile in Egypt.)
X. Ubi Herodes interfecit pueros.
(Where Herod killed the children.)
XI. Ubi Ihesus revocatur ab Ægypto.
(Where Jesus was recalled from Egypt.)
VII. XII. Ubi Ihesus remansit in templo Herosolymis.
(Where Jesus stayed behind in the temple in Jerusalem.)

7: 1
And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
2
And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord: As it is written in the law of the Lord:
Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:
3
And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons:
4
And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon: and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Ghost was in him. And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
5
And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, He also took him into his arms and blessed God and said
6
Now thou dost dismiss thy servant,
O Lord,
according to thy word in peace:
Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared prior to the appearance of all peoples:
A light to the revelation of the Gentiles
and the glory of thy people Israel.
7
And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother:
8
Behold this child is set for the fall and the resurrection of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be contradicted. And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed.
9
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser. She was far advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. And she was a widow as long as eighty-four years: who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
10
Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Jerusalem.
11
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.

8: 1
When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, Saying:
Where is he that is born king of the Judeans? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him.
2
And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
3
Whereupon they said to him:
In Bethlehem of Juda.
For so it is written by the prophet:
And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the judge that shall rule my people Israel.
4
Then Herod, privately calling the wise men learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them; And sending them into Bethlehem, said:
Go and diligently inquire after the child. When you have found him, bring back word to me, that I also may come and worship him.
5
They having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the East, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
6
And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they worshiped him:
7
and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
8
And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.

9: 1
And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying:
2
Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.
3
So he arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
4
That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
Out of Egypt have I called my son.

10:1
Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
2
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
3
A voice in Rama was heard,
lamentation and great mourning;
Rachel bewailing her children,
and would not be comforted,
because they are not.

11: 1
But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child.
2
So he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
3
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea on behalf of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither:
4
And being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee. And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth:
5
That it might be fulfilled which was said by the prophets:
That he shall be called a Nazarene.

12: 1
And the child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom: and the grace of God was in him.
