Luke. Cap. 2. 1 And it came to pass in those days, that there was a commandment from Augustus Caesar, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was Governor of Syria,) 3 Therefore all went to be taxed, every man to his own City. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of a City called Nazareth into Judea, unto the City of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and linage of David) 5 To be taxed with Mary that was given him to wife, which was with child. 6 And so it fell out, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her first begotten Son, & wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the Inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field and keeping watch by night, because of their flock. 9 And lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraid. 10 Then the Angel said unto them be not afraid, for behold I bring you tidings of great joy that shall be to all people. 11 That is, that unto you is borne this day, in the City of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. 12 And he shall be a sign to you, ye shall find the child swaddled and laid in a Manger. ⟨image 19⟩13 And straightway there was with the Angel, a multitude of heavenly soldiers, praising God and saying. 14 Glory be to God in the high heavens, & peace in earth, and towards men good will.
