Luke 2:8-33

[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.  [10] And  the angel  said  unto them,  Fear  not:  for,  behold,  good tidings  of great  joy,  which  to all  people.  [11] For  is born  this day  in  the city  of David  a Saviour,  which  Christ  the Lord.  [12] And  shall be a sign  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,  to  another,  now  go  even unto  Bethlehem,  and  thing  which is come to pass,  which  the Lord  hath made known  [16] And  they came  with haste,  and  found  Mary,  and  Joseph,  and  the babe  lying  in  a manger.  [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.  [25] And,  behold,  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  upon  him.  [26] And  revealed  unto him  by  the Holy  Ghost,  not  death,  before  the Lord's  Christ.  [27] 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,  [28] Then  he  up  in  his  arms,  and  blessed  God,  and  said,  [29] Lord,  now  servant  depart  in  peace,  according  word:  [30] For  eyes  salvation,  [31] Which  thou hast prepared  before  the face  of all  people;  [32] A light  to  lighten  the Gentiles,  and  the glory  people  Israel.  [33] And  his  mother  at  those things which were spoken  of  him.
