The Third Joyful Mystery
The Birth of Our Lord
(Luke 2:1-21)
2:1 And it
came to pass in those days, that there went
out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all
the world should be taxed.
2:2 (And this
taxing was first made when Cyrenius was
governor of Syria.)
2:3 And all
went to be taxed, every one into his own
city.
2:4 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:)
2:5 To be
taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being
great with child.
2:6 And so it
was, that, while they were there, the days
were accomplished that she should be
delivered.
2:7 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.
2:8 And there
were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
2:9 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.
2:10 And the
angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this
shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.
2:13 And
suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising God,
and saying,
2:14 Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men.
2:15 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.
2:16 And they
came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger.
2:17 And when
they had seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concerning this
child.
2:18 And all
they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.
2:19 But Mary
kept all these things, and pondered them in
her heart.
2:20 And the
shepherds returned, glorifying and praising
God for all the things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto them.
2:21 And when
eight days were accomplished for the
circumcising of the child, his name was
called JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the womb.
