| Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus |
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth , into Judæa, 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.
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 shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
