“And about that time a decree was issued by Caesar Augustus to tax the whole world.
“And all were taxed and each moved to his own city.
“Joseph also left the city of Nazareth in Galilee and went up to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem in Judea.
“Taxed with his spouse Mary and blessed with children.
So, while they were there, the day came when she would give birth.
She gave birth to her firstborn son, wrapped him in cloth, and laid him in a manger. Because there was no room for them in the inn.
“And in the same region there were shepherds in the fields, watching over their flock by night.
“And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them, and they were terrified.

The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will come to all people.
“Today in the city of David you have born a Savior, the Lord Christ.
“And this will be a sign to you. You will find the baby lying in the manger.
“And suddenly a multitude of heavenly hosts, with angels, praised God and said,
“Glory to the Most High God, Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men.”
