- 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 this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
- And all went to be taxed, everyone 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 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 tiding of great
joy, which shall be unto 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; you 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.
- And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
- And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them
concerning this child.
- And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the
shepherds.
- But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
- And the shepherd returned, glorifying God for all the things that they had heard and
seen as it was told unto them.
