Using the Language Translator

When you choose a language, the text currently visible on the page will be translated.

If you open a different Bible chapter, comparison view, commentary, or other newly loaded material, you may need to select the language again so the new text will also be translated.

Automatic translation may not match a published Bible translation in that language. For precise study, compare the wording with a trusted Bible translation in your own language.

Jesus grows in Nazareth

The child returns from Egypt,
and at twelve appears in the temple.

Follow the quiet childhood years, Jesus at Passover when he was twelve, the transition from Augustus to Tiberius, and the approach of John the Baptist’s ministry.
