lont - Luke:2:1-21

lont@Luke:2:1 @ About that time, Cesar Augustus issued an edict, that all the inhabitants of the empire should be registered.

lont@Luke:2:2 @ (This first register took effect, when Cyrenius was president of Syria.)

lont@Luke:2:3 @ When all went to be registered, every one of his own city,

lont@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph also went from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, to a city of David in Judea, called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and lineage of David,)

lont@Luke:2:5 @ to be registered, with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was pregnant.

lont@Luke:2:6 @ While they were there, the time came, that she should be delivered.

lont@Luke:2:7 @ And she brought forth her first born son, and swathed him, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the house allotted to strangers.

lont@Luke:2:8 @ Now there were shepherds in the fields in that country, who tended their flocks by turns through the night watches.

lont@Luke:2:9 @ On a sudden, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and a divine glory encompassed them with light, and they were frightened exceedingly.

lont@Luke:2:10 @ But the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings, which shall prove matter of great joy to all the people;

lont@Luke:2:11 @ because today is born to you in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Lord Messiah.

lont@Luke:2:12 @ And by this you shall know him; you shall find a babe in swaddling bands, lying in a manger.

lont@Luke:2:13 @ Instantly the angel was attended by a multitude of the heavenly host, who praised God, saying,

lont@Luke:2:14 @ Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace, and good will amongst men!

lont@Luke:2:15 @ And when the angels returned to heaven, having left the shepherds, these said to one another, Let us go to Bethlehem, and see this which has happened, of which the Lord has informed us.

lont@Luke:2:16 @ And hastening thither, they found Mary and Joseph with the babe, who lay in the manger.

lont@Luke:2:17 @ When they saw this, they published what had been imparted to them, concerning this child.

lont@Luke:2:18 @ And all who heard it, wondered at the things told them by the shepherds.

lont@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary let none of these things escape unobserved, weighing every circumstance within herself.

lont@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all that they had heard and seen, agreeably to what had been declared to them.

lont@Luke:2:21 @ On the eighth day, when the child was circumcised, they called him Jesus, the angel having given him that name, before his mother conceived him.
