(because he was of the house and lineage of David:)G1161G2501G2532G305G575G1056G1537G4172G3478G1519G2449G1519G4172G1138G3748G2564G965G1223G846G1511G1537G3624G2532G3965G11385To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.G583G4862G3137G846G3423G1135G5607G14716And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.G1161G1096G1722G846G1511G1563G2250G4130G846G50887And 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.G2532G5088G846G4416G5207G2532G4683G846G4683G2532G347G846G1722G5336G1360G2258G3756G5117G846G1722G26468And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. / watch: or, the night watchesG2532G2258G1722G846G5561G4166G63G2532G5442G5438G1909G846G4167G35719And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.G2532G2400G32G2962G2186G846G2532G1391G2962G4034G846G2532G3173G5399G540110And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.G2532G32G2036G846G5399G3361G1063G2400G2097G5213G2097G3173G5479G3748G2071G3956G299211For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.G3754G5213G5088G4594G1722G4172G1138G4990G3739G2076G5547G296212And this shall be a sign unto you;
