5To be taxedG583 withG4862 MaryG3137 hisG846 espousedG3423 wifeG1135, beingG1510 great with childG1471.

6AndG1161 so it wasG1096, that, whileG1722 theyG846 wereG1510 thereG1563, the daysG3588G2250 were accomplishedG4130 that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088.

7AndG2532 she brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG3588G5207, andG2532 wrappedG4683 himG846 in swaddling clothesG4683, andG2532 laidG347 himG846 inG1722 a mangerG3588G5336; becauseG1360 there wasG1510 noG3756 roomG5117 for themG846 inG1722 the innG3588G2646.

8AndG2532 there wereG1510 inG1722 the sameG846 countryG3588G5561 shepherdsG4166 abiding in the fieldG63, keepingG5442 watchG5438 overG1909 theirG846 flockG3588G4167 by nightG3588G3571.

9AndG2532, loG3708, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 themG846, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 shone round aboutG4034 themG846: andG2532 they wereG5399 soreG3173 afraidG5399.

10AndG2532 the angelG3588G32 saidG3004 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG3708, I bringG2097 youG4771 good tidingsG2097 ofG5479 greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG1510 toG3588G2992 allG3956 peopleG3588G2992.

11ForG3754 unto youG4771 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG1510 ChristG5547 the LordG2962.

12AndG2532 thisG3778 shall be a signG3588G4592 unto youG4771; Ye shall findG2147 the babeG1025 wrapped in swaddling clothesG4683, lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG3588G5336.

13AndG2532 suddenlyG1810 there wasG1096 withG4862 the angelG3588G32 a multitudeG4128 of the heavenlyG3770 hostG4756 praisingG134 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 sayingG3004,

14GloryG1391 to GodG2316 inG1722 the highestG5310, andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 peaceG1515, good willG2107 towardG1722 menG444.

15AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG5613 the angelsG3588G32 were gone awayG565 fromG575 themG846 intoG1519 heavenG3588G3772, the shepherdsG3588G4166 saidG3004 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, Let usG1330 nowG1211 goG1330 even untoG2193 BethlehemG965, andG2532 seeG3708 thisG3778 thingG3588G4487 which is come to passG1096, whichG3739 the LordG3588G2962 hath made knownG1107 unto usG1473.

16AndG2532 they cameG2064 with hasteG4692, andG2532 foundG429 MaryG3137, andG2532 JosephG2501, andG2532 the babeG3588G1025 lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG3588G5336.

17AndG1161 when they had seenG3708 it, they made knownG1232 abroadG4012 the sayingG3588G4487 which was toldG2980 themG846 concerningG4012 thisG3778 childG3588G3813.

18AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191 it wonderedG2296 atG4012 those things whichG3588 were toldG2980 themG846 byG5259 the shepherdsG3588G4166.

19ButG1161 MaryG3137 keptG4933 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3588G4487, and ponderedG4820 them inG1722 herG846 heartG3588G2588.
