LUKE, 2: 1-20 And It came to pass in those days. that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 i And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every-one Into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee-, out of the city of Nazareth. into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David, i 5 To be taxed with Mary his es-poused wire, being great with child 6 And so it was. that, while they were t here, the days were ac-complished that she should be de-livered 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son. and wrapped him In swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding In the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And 1o, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel sale: unto them, Fear not: for. behold. T bring yon good tidings of great Joy, which shall be to all people 11 For unto you Is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying In a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heav-enly host praising Ood. and saying. 14 Olory to Ood in the highest. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them Into heaven, the shepherds said one to another. Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which Is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 18 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger 17 And when they had seen it they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. IB And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising Ood for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
