mnt - Luke:2:1-21

mnt@Luke:2:1 @ In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.

mnt@Luke:2:2 @ This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.

mnt@Luke:2:3 @ And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.

mnt@Luke:2:4 @ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city if Nazareth, into Judea, to Davids town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.

mnt@Luke:2:5 @ He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.

mnt@Luke:2:6 @ But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.

mnt@Luke:2:7 @ And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

mnt@Luke:2:8 @ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.

mnt@Luke:2:9 @ When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.

mnt@Luke:2:10 @ "Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.

mnt@Luke:2:11 @ "For unto you born this day in there is born in Davids town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.

mnt@Luke:2:12 @ "And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."

mnt@Luke:2:13 @ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,

mnt@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"

mnt@Luke:2:15 @ Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."

mnt@Luke:2:16 @ so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

mnt@Luke:2:17 @ When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.

mnt@Luke:2:18 @ And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.

mnt@Luke:2:19 @ But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.

mnt@Luke:2:20 @ And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.

mnt@Luke:2:21 @ When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
