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.

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,

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

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.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.

21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

25 And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him;

27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
