Luke
2:1, “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2
(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 Judaea,
unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of
the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused
wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were
there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 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, lo, 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 said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you 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.
13And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men. 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.
16
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. 18 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 God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it
was told unto them.” The Day Truth Came To Live Among Us!
