The Story of
Christ's Birth
Luke 2:1-20
And
it
came
to
pass
in
those
days
that
a
decree
went
out
from
Caesar
Augustus
that
all
the
world
should
be
registered.
This
census
first
took
place
while
Quirinius
was
governing
Syria.
So
all
went
to
be
registered,
everyone
to
his
own
city.
Joseph
also
went
up
from
Galilee,
out
of
the
city
of
Nazareth,
into
Judea,
to
the
city
of
David,
which
is
called
Bethlehem,
because
he
was
of
the
house
and
lineage
of
David,
to
be
registered
with
Mary,
his
betrothed
wife,
who
was
with
child.
So it
was,
that
while
they
were
there,
the days
were
completed
for her
to be
delivered.
And she
brought
forth
her
firstborn
Son, and
wrapped
Him in
swaddling
cloths,
and laid
Him in a
manger,
because
there
was no
room for
them in
the inn.
Now
there
were in
the same
country
shepherds
living
out in
the
fields,
keeping
watch
over
their
flock by
night.
And
behold,
an angel
of the
Lord
stood
before
them,
and the
glory of
the Lord
shone
around
them,
and they
were
greatly
afraid.
Then the
angel
said to
them,
Do not
be
afraid,
for
behold,
I bring
you good
tidings
of great
joy
which
will be
to all
people.
For
there is
born to
you this
day in
the city
of David
a
Savior,
who is
Christ
the
Lord.
And this
will be
the sign
to you:
You will
find a
Babe
wrapped
in
swaddling
cloths,
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,
goodwill
toward
men!
So it
was,
when the
angels
had gone
away
from
them
into
heaven,
that the
shepherds
said to
one
another,
Let us
now go
to
Bethlehem
and see
this
thing
that has
come to
pass,
which
the Lord
has made
known to
us.
And they
came
with
haste
and
found
Mary and
Joseph,
and the
Babe
lying in
a
manger.
Now when
they had
seen
Him,
they
made
widely
known
the
saying
which
was told
them
concerning
this
Child.
And all
those
who
heard it
marveled
at those
things
which
were
told
them by
the
shepherds.
But Mary
kept all
these
things
and
pondered
them in
her
heart.
Then the
shepherds
returned,
glorifying
and
praising
God for
all the
things
that
they had
heard
and
seen, as
it was
told
them.
