T
he Christmas Story
as told by Luk
e
In those days it occurred that a decree went
out from Caesar Augustus that the whole
Roman empire should be registered. This was
the first enrollment, and it was made when
Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all the
people were going to be registered, each to
his own city or town.
And Joseph also went up
from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to
Judea, to the town of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the house and
family of David
, To be enrolled with Mary, his
espoused (married) wife,
who was about to
become a mother
. And while they were there,
the time came for her delivery, And she gave
birth to her Son, her Firstborn; and she
wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid
Him in a manger,
because there was no room
or place for them in the inn.
And in that vicinity there were
shepherds
living [out under the open sky] in the field
,
watching [in shifts] over their flock by night.
And behold
,
an angel of the Lord stood by
them, and the glory of the Lord flashed and
shone all about them
, and they were terribly
frightened. But the angel said to them, Do not
be afraid; for behold,
I bring you good news of
a great joy which will come to all the people.
For to you is born this day in the town of David
a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord!
And this will be a sign for you [by which you
will recognize Him]: you will find [after search-
ing] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and
lying in a manger.
Then suddenly there appear-
ed with the angel an army of the troops of
heaven (a heavenly knighthood), praising God
and saying, Glory to God in the highest
[heaven], and on earth peace among men with
whom
He is well pleased [men of goodwill, of
His favor]. When the angels went away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one to
another, Let us go over to Bethlehem and see
this thing (saying) that has come to pass,
which the Lord has made known to us. So they
went with haste and [by searching] found Mary
and Joseph,
and the Baby lying in a manger
.
And when they saw it, they made known what
had been told them concerning this Child, And
all who heard it were astounded and marveled
at what the shepherds told them. But Mary was
keeping within herself all these things (say-
ings), weighing and pondering them in her
heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorify-
ing
and praising God for all the things they
had
heard and seen, just as it had been told
them.
Luke 2:1-20 (Amplified Bible)
