The Birth Of Jesus
as described in The King James Bible (KJV)
and The Revised Standard Version (RSV)
LUKE 2:1-20 (KJV)
1
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
taxed.
2
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor
of 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; (because he was of the house and lineage
of David:)
5
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.
6
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
7
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.
8
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9
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.
10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people.
11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
15
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.
16
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.
17
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concerning this child.
18
And all they that heard it wondered at those 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.

LUKE 2:1-20 (RSV)
1
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that
all the world should be enrolled.
2
This was the first enrollment, when Quirin'i-us was
governor of Syria.
3
And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.
4
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of
Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of
David,
5
to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with
child.
6
And while they were there, the time came for her to be
delivered.
7
And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him
in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because
there was no place for them in the inn.
8
And in that region there were shepherds out in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
9
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory
of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with
fear.
10
And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I
bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all
the people;
11
for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.
12
And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe
wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."
13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God and saying,
14
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men
with whom he is pleased!"
15
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the
shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to
Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the
Lord has made known to us."
16
And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.
17
And when they saw it they made known the saying which had
been told them concerning this child;
18
and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told
them.
19
But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her
heart.
20
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
