Whiston(i)
1 Now it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
2 This first enrolment was made when Cyrenius was president of Syria.
3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his countrey.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into the land of Juda, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem:
5 To be enrolled with Mary who was espoused to him;being great with child; because he was of the house and family of David.
6 But when they were come thither the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 But there were in this country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping the night watches over their flocks.
9 And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and a glory shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, and it shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, Who is Christ the Lord.
12 And let this be a sign unto [you]; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swadling clothes, in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the host of Heaven, praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, among men of good will.
