42:002:004 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:)
42:002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with
child.
42:002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were
accomplished
that she should be delivered.
42:002:007 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.
42:002:008 And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the
field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
42:002:009 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.
42:002:010 And the angel said unto them, Fear not:
for, behold, I bring
you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
42:002:011 For unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour,
which
is Christ the Lord.
42:002:012 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall
find the babe
wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
42:002:013 And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the
heavenly
host praising God, and saying,
42:002:014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will
toward
men.
42:002:015 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.
42:002:016 And they came with haste, and found Mary,
and Joseph, and the
babe
lying in a manger.
42:002:017 And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying
which
was told them concerning this child.
42:002:018 And all they that heard it wondered at
those things which were
told
them by the shepherds.
42:002:019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered
them in her
heart.
42:002:020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying
and praising God for
all
the things that they had heard and seen, as it was
told
unto
them.
42:002:021 And when eight days were accomplished for
the circumcising of
the
child, his name was called Jesus, which was so
named of
the
angel before he was conceived in the womb.
42:002:022 And when the days of her purification according
to the law of
Moses
were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to
present
him to the Lord;
