1AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that there went outG1831 a decreeG1378 fromG3844 CaesarG2541 AugustusG828, that allG3956 the worldG3625 should be taxedG583.1 2(And thisG3778 taxingG582 wasG1096 firstG4413 madeG1096 when CyreniusG2958 was governorG2230 of SyriaG4947.) 3AndG2532 allG3956 wentG4198 to be taxedG583, every oneG1538 intoG1519 his ownG2398 cityG4172.2 4AndG1161 JosephG2501 alsoG2532 went upG305 fromG575 GalileeG1056, out ofG1537 the cityG4172 of NazarethG3478, intoG1519 JudaeaG2449, toG1519 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138, whichG3748 is calledG2564 BethlehemG965; (becauseG1223 heG846 wasG1511 ofG1537 the houseG3624 andG2532 lineageG3965 of DavidG1138:) 5To be taxedG583 withG4862 MaryG3137 hisG846 espousedG3423 wifeG1135, beingG5607 great with childG1471.3 6AndG1161 so it wasG1096, that, whileG1722 theyG846 wereG1511 thereG1563, the daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130 that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088. 7AndG2532 she brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG5207, andG2532 wrappedG4683 himG846 in swaddling clothesG4683, andG2532 laidG347 himG846 inG1722 a mangerG5336; becauseG1360 there wasG2258 noG3756 roomG5117 for themG846 inG1722 the innG2646.

8AndG2532 there wereG2258 inG1722 the sameG846 countryG5561 shepherdsG4166 abiding in the fieldG63, keepingG5442 watchG5438 overG1909 theirG846 flockG4167 by nightG3571.4 9AndG2532, loG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 themG846, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 shone aroundG4034 themG846: andG2532 they were in greatG3173 fearG5399G5401. 10AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 to themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992. 11ForG3754 to youG5213 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whoG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 the LordG2962. 12AndG2532 thisG5124 shall be a signG4592 to youG5213; Ye shall findG2147 the babeG1025 wrapped in swaddling clothesG4683, lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG5336. 13AndG2532 suddenlyG1810 there wasG1096 withG4862 the angelG32 a multitudeG4128 of the heavenlyG3770 hostG4756 praisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 sayingG3004, 14GloryG1391 to GodG2316 inG1722 the highestG5310, andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 peaceG1515, good willG2107 towardG1722 menG444. 15AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG5613 the angelsG32 had gone awayG565 fromG575 themG846 intoG1519 heavenG3772, the shepherdsG444G4166 saidG2036 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, Let usG1330 nowG1211 goG1330 even toG2193 BethlehemG965, andG2532 seeG1492 thisG5124 thingG4487 which is come to passG1096, whichG3739G3588 the LordG2962 hath made knownG1107 to usG2254.5 16AndG2532 they cameG2064 with hasteG4692, andG2532G5037 foundG429 MaryG3137, andG2532 JosephG2501, andG2532 the babeG1025 lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG5336. 17AndG1161 when they had seenG1492 it, they made known abroadG1232 the sayingG4012G4487 whichG3588 was toldG2980 themG846 concerningG4012 thisG5127 childG3813. 18AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191 it wonderedG2296 atG4012 those things whichG3588 were toldG2980 themG4314G846 byG5259 the shepherdsG4166. 19ButG1161 MaryG3137 keptG4933 allG3956 these thingsG4487G5023, and ponderedG4820 them inG1722 herG846 heartG2588. 20AndG2532 the shepherdsG4166 returnedG1994, glorifyingG1392 andG2532 praisingG134 GodG2316 forG1909 all the thingsG3956 thatG3739 they had heardG191 andG2532 seenG1492, asG2531 it was toldG2980 toG4314 themG846.
