42:002:010 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
42:002:011 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
42:002:012 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
42:002:013 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
42:002:014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
42:002:015 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 is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.
42:002:016 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.
42:002:017 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.
42:002:018 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.
42:002:019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.
42:002:020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.
42:002:021 And when eight days were accomplished 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.
42:002:022 And when the days of her purification according to the law of
Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to
present him to the Lord;
42:002:023 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
42:002:024 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in
the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young
pigeons.
42:002:025 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was
Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the
consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
42:002:026 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
42:002:027 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the
custom of the law,
42:002:028 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
42:002:029 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
to thy word:
42:002:030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
42:002:031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
