FOR THERE IS BORN TO YOU, THIS DAY, IN THE CITY OF DAVID, THE SAVIOR, WHO IS – JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD!

 

Luke 2:4-20

JOSEPH ALSO, WENT UP FROM GALILEE, OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH, INTO JUDEA (Modern Day, Israel), TO THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED, BETHLEHEM, BECAUSE HE (Joseph) WAS OF THE HOUSE AND LINEAGE OF DAVID, TO BE REGISTERED – WITH MARY, HIS BETROTHED WIFE, WHO WAS WITH CHILD!  SO IT WAS, THAT WHILE THEY (Joseph And Mary) WERE – THERE (IN Bethlehem), THE DAYS WERE COMPLETED FOR HER TO BE DELIVERED (i.e., Mary Went Into Labor)!  AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH – HER FIRSTBORN SON (Jesus Christ), AND WRAPPED HIM – IN SWADDLING CLOTHS, AND LAID HIM – IN A MANGER (A Cattle-Crib, aka A Feeding Box, OR An Animal Feed Trough), BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THEM IN THE INN!

NOW, THERE WERE – IN THE SAME COUNTRY (Of Judea), SHEPHERDS LIVING OUT IN THE FIELDS, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK – BY NIGHT!  AND BEHOLD, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angel) STOOD BEFORE THEM (THESE Shepherds), AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD (GOD Almighty) SHONE AROUND THEM (THESE Shepherds), AND THEY WERE GREATLY AFRAID!  THEN, THE ANGEL (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angel) SAID TO THEM, “DO NOT BE AFRAID, FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH WILL BE TO ALL PEOPLE!  FOR THERE IS BORN TO YOU (ALL Mankind), THIS DAY, IN THE CITY OF DAVID (Bethlehem), A SAVIOR, WHO IS – CHRIST, THE LORD!  AND THIS WILL BE – THE SIGN TO YOU: YOU WILL FIND A BABE, WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHS, LYING IN A MANGER (An Animal Feed Trough)!”

AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS, WITH THE ANGEL (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angel), A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels), PRAISING GOD (GOD Almighty) AND SAYING: “GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST (GOD Almighty), AND ON EARTH – PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN!”

SO IT WAS, WHEN THE ANGELS (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels) HAD GONE AWAY FROM THEM (THESE Shepherds) – INTO HEAVEN; THAT, THE SHEPHERDS SAID TO ONE ANOTHER, “LET US NOW – GO TO BETHLEHEM, AND SEE THIS THING, THAT HAS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD (GOD Almighty) HAS MADE KNOWN TO US!”  AND THEY (THESE Shepherds) CAME WITH HASTE, AND FOUND – MARY, AND JOSEPH, AND THE BABE (Jesus) – LYING IN A MANGER!  NOW, WHEN THEY (THESE Shepherds) HAD SEEN HIM (Jesus); THEY MADE WIDELY KNOWN, THE SAYING, WHICH WAS TOLD THEM (By GOD Almighty’s Holy Angel), CONCERNING THIS CHILD (Jesus)!  AND ALL THOSE, WHO HEARD IT, MARVELED AT THOSE THINGS, WHICH WERE TOLD THEM – BY THE SHEPHERDS!  BUT, MARY KEPT ALL THESE THINGS AND PONDERED THEM – IN HER HEART!  THEN, THE SHEPHERDS RETURNED, GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD (GOD Almighty), FOR ALL THE THINGS, THAT THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN – AS IT WAS TOLD THEM!
