The Birth of Jesus Chris![](pictogram/jesus.png)
1In those days a
decree
went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2This was the first registration when
Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who
was with child. 6And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
The Shepherds
and the Angels![](pictogram/angel.png)
8And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night. 9And an angel
of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10And the angel
said to them,
Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ
13And suddenly there was with the angel the Lord. 12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped
in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.
a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!
15When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,
Let
us go over to Bethlehem and
see this thing
that has happened,
which the Lord has made known
to us.
16And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning
this child. 18And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told
them. 19But Mary treasured
up all these things, pondering them
in her heart. 20And the shepherds
returned, glorifying and
praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
