Luke 2:11-21

11 For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.

12 And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."

13 And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,

14 "Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"

15 Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."

16 So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.

17 And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;

18 and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.

19 But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to them.

21 When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception in the womb.
