CHAPTER 2.

! N,1APIER Z. ] And it came to pass in those days 1 that there went out a decree from Caesar August, that all the world should be taxed. ?. (And this taxing was first made i when Cyrenius was governor oi 1 Syria)
 3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, unto the city of David ! which is called Bethlehem; fbecause he was of the house and lineage of David:)
 5. To be taxed with Mary his es- poused wife, being great with child 6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accom- plished that she should be delivered. z. And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swad- ding clothes, and laid him in a manager; because there was no room for them in the inn.
 s. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night.
 9. And, To- the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. |4 =
 10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, 1 bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
 Il. For unto you is born this day in the city of David Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
 12. And this shall be sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manager.
 13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heaven ly host praising God, and saying,
 IA. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
 l5. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which 10 SOIlC lo pdo0, WIICl lllc LOIu udtIl made known to us.
 16. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manager.
 17. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
 IS. And all they that heard it wondered at that things which were told them by the shepherds.
 19. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
 20. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 21. And when eight days were ac- complished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in , the womb.
 22. And when the days of her puri- fication according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
 23. GAS it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
 | "A. And to offer sacrifice accord ing to that which is said in tic law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, o1 two young pigeons. 1 9. And, behold, there was a mar in Jerusalem, whose name was Sim | con; and the same man was just ant devOut, waiting for the consolation o Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upor him.
 i 26. And it was revealed unto hin by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen tn, Lords Christ.
