And it came to pass in those days,
(And this taxing was first made
And all went to be taxed,
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife
And so it was, that, while they were there,
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
And this shall be a sign unto you;
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another,
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
