                                               LUKE 2:1-20 THE CHRISTMAS STORY

                                  And it came to pass in those days, 
                                 that there went out a decree from Cæsar 

                                               Augustus, that all the world  should be taxed,
 
                                 And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius 
                                 was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, 
                                 every one into his own city.

                                 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
                                 linage 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 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.
