Chapter summary
Luke 2 Summary
Luke 2 tells the Christmas story—Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, the angels and shepherds—and his boyhood in the temple.
Caesar’s census brings Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born and laid in a manger. Angels announce ‘good news of great joy’ to shepherds, who hurry to see him.
The chapter also shows Jesus presented at the temple and, at age twelve, amazing the teachers, ‘about my Father’s business.’
