*
So it was ,
when the angels had gone away from them into heaven ,
that the shepherds said to one another , "
Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass ,
which the Lord has made known to us ."
*
And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph ,
and the Babe lying in a manger .
*
Now when they had seen Him ,
they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child .
*
And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds .
*
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart .
*
Then the shepherds returned ,
glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen ,
as it was told them .
*
And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child ,
His name was called JESUS ,
the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb .
*
Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed ,
they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
* (
as it is written in the law of the Lord , "
Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD "),
*
and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord , "
A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons ."
