And
It came to
pass in those days,
that there went out a decree
from Caesar Augustus, that all
the world should be taxed. And all
went to be taxed, every one into his own
city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because
he was of the house and lineage of David. To be taxed
with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so
it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished
that she should be delivered. 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. And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo,
the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about
them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly
there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God
in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
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.
Lukes Gospel 2:1, 3-15
