Christian Reflection and Prayer

1And 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.)

3And all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city.

  4And 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:)

 5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child.

 6And so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should
be delivered.

 7And 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.

 8And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flock by night.

 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

11For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

 12And 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,

 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

 15And 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.

 16And they came with haste, and found Mary,
and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

 17And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which was told them concerning
this child.

 18And all they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.

 19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them
in her heart.

 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising
God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as
it was told unto them.
Luke 2: 1-20 (King James Version)
