* And it came to pass (5633 ) in those days , that there went out (5627 ) a decree from Caesar Augustus , that all the world should be taxed (5729 ). * (And this taxing was first made (5633 ) when Cyrenius was governor (5723 ) of Syria .) * And all went (5711 ) to be taxed (5745 ), every one into his own city . * And Joseph also went up (5627 ) from Galilee , out of the city of Nazareth , into Judaea , unto the city of David , which is called (5743 ) Bethlehem ; (because he was (5750 ) of the house and lineage of David :) * To be taxed (5670 ) with Mary his espoused (5772 ) wife , being (5752 ) great with child . * And so it was (5633 ), that , while they were (5750 ) there , the days were accomplished (5681 ) that she should be delivered (5629 ). * And she brought forth (5627 ) her firstborn son , and wrapped him in swaddling clothes (5656 ), and laid (5656 ) him in a manger ; because there was (5713 ) no room for them in the inn . * And there were (5713 ) in the same country shepherds abiding in the field (5723 ), keeping (5723 ) watch over their flock by night . * And , lo (5628 ), the angel of the Lord came upon (5627 ) them , and the glory of the Lord shone round about (5656 ) them : and they were sore afraid (5675 ). * And the angel said (5627 ) unto them , Fear (5737 ) not : for , behold (5628 ), I bring you good tidings (5731 ) of great joy , which shall be (5704 ) to all people . * For unto you is born (5681 ) this day in the city of David a Saviour , which is (5748 ) Christ the Lord . * And this shall be a sign unto you ; Ye shall find (5692 ) the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes (5772 ), lying (5740 ) in a manger . * And suddenly there was (5633 ) with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising (5723 ) God , and saying (5723 ), * Glory to God in the highest , and on earth peace , good will toward men .
