42:001:066 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 42:001:067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 42:001:068 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 42:001:069 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 42:001:070 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 42:001:071 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 42:001:072 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 42:001:073 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 42:001:074 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 42:001:075 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 42:001:076 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 42:001:077 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 42:001:078 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 42:001:079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 42:001:080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. 42:002:001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 42:002:002 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 42:002:003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 42:002:004 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 42:002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 42:002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 42:002:007 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 42:002:008 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 42:002:009 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
