Luke 2
The Birth of Jesus

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree [ that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world ].
(This was the first census [ that took place [ while Quirinius was governor of Syria ] ]. )
And everyone went to their own town [ to register ].
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,
[ because he belonged to the house and line 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 guest room [ available for them ] ].
And there were shepherds [ living out in the fields nearby,
[ keeping watch over their flocks at night ] ].
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news [ that will cause great joy for all the people ].
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
he is the Messiah, 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 heaven,
and on earth peace to those [ on whom his favor rests ].”

[ When the angels had left them and gone into heaven ],
the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing
[ that has happened, [ which the Lord has told us about ] ].”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, [ who was lying in the manger ].
[ When they had seen him ], they spread the word [ concerning [ what had been told them about this child ],
and all [ who heard it ] were amazed at [ what the shepherds said to them ].
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
The shepherds returned, [ glorifying and praising God for all the things
[ they had heard and seen,
[ which were just [ as they had been told ] ] ] ].
On the eighth day, [ when it was time [ to circumcise the child ] ],
he was named Jesus, the name [ the angel had given him [ before he was conceived ] ].
