[7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because no room for them in the inn. [8] And in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. [9] And, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

[17] And the saying which was told them concerning 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 glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and as it was told unto them. [21] And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. [22] 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; [23] (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) [24] 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.
