Luke’s Account of the Birth of Christ

Luke 1:26-35

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

28 And he came to her and said, Rejoice, you who have been graced! The Lord is with you.

29 And she was greatly troubled at this saying and began reasoning what kind of greeting this might be.

30 And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus.

32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of David His father,

33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.

34 But Mary said to the angel, How will this be, since I have not known a man?

35 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the holy thing which is born will be called the Son of God.

Luke 2:1-7

1 And in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus for a census to be taken of all the inhabited earth.

2 This was the first census that took place when Quirinius governed Syria.

3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

5 To be registered with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.

6 And while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to bear,

7 And she bore her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger because there was no place for them in the inn.
