noyes@Luke:2:1 @ And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.

noyes@Luke:2:3 @ And all went to be registered, each to his own city.

noyes@Luke:2:4 @ And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

noyes@Luke:2:5 @ to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.

noyes@Luke:2:6 @ And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.

noyes@Luke:2:7 @ And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathingclothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

noyes@Luke:2:8 @ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.

noyes@Luke:2:9 @ And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.

noyes@Luke:2:10 @ And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;

noyes@Luke:2:11 @ for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.

noyes@Luke:2:12 @ And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathingclothes, in a manger.

noyes@Luke:2:14 @ "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!"
