The Christmas Story
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee
To Bethlehem the town of David,
He went there to register with Mary,
who was pledged to be married to him
and was expecting a child.
While they were there, the time came
for the baby to be born,
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.
She wrapped him in cloths
and placed him in a manger
because there was no room for them in the inn.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shown around them,
and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy
that will be for all the people.
Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you;
He is Christ the Lord.
This will be a sign to you:
You will find a baby wrapped in cloths
and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host
appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men
on whom his favor rests."
Luke 2:1-7, 9-14
