- And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.
- And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
- But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.”
- The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!
- Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased. - The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.
