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.
20AndG2532 the shepherdsG3588G4166 returnedG1994, glorifyingG1392 andG2532 praisingG134 GodG3588G2316 forG1909 allG3956 the things thatG3739 they had heardG191 andG2532 seenG3708, asG2531 it was toldG2980 untoG4314 themG846.
21AndG2532 whenG3753 eightG3638 daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130 for the circumcisingG3588G4059 of the childG3588G3813, hisG846 nameG3588G3686 was calledG2564 JESUSG2424, which was so namedG3588G2564 ofG5259 the angelG3588G32 beforeG4253 heG846 was conceivedG4815 inG1722 the wombG3588G2836.
22AndG2532 whenG3753 the daysG3588G2250 ofG3588G2512 herG846 purificationG3588G2512 according toG2596 the lawG3588G3551 of MosesG3475 were accomplishedG4130, they broughtG321 himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, to presentG3936 him to the LordG3588G2962;
23(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, EveryG3956 maleG730 that openethG1272 the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564 holyG40 to the LordG3588G2962;)
24AndG2532 to offerG1325 a sacrificeG2378 according toG2596 that which is saidG2046 inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, A pairG2201 of turtledovesG5167, orG2228 twoG1417 youngG3502 pigeonsG4058.
25AndG2532, beholdG3708, there wasG1510 a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG3588G444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327 for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG3588G2474: andG2532 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG1510 uponG1909 himG846.
26AndG2532 it wasG1510 revealedG5537 unto himG846 byG5259 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151, that he shouldG3708 notG3361 seeG3708 deathG2288, beforeG4250 he had seenG3708 theG3588G5547 Lord’sG2962 ChristG3588G5547.
27AndG2532 he cameG2064 byG1722 the SpiritG3588G4151 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411: andG2532 whenG1722 the parentsG3588G1118 brought inG3588G1521 the childG3588G3813 JesusG2424, to doG4160 forG4012 himG846 afterG2596 the customG3588G1480 of the lawG3588G3551,
28ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209 inG1519 hisG846 armsG3588G43, andG2532 blessedG2127 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 saidG3004,
