    9 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear.

    10 And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --

    11 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,

    12 and this `is' to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.'

    13 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,

    14 `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men -- good will.'

    15 And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, `We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make known to us.'

    16 And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger,

    17 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child.

    18 And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;

    19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;

    20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.

    1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem,

    2 saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'

    3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,

    4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

    5 And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,

    6 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.'

    7 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

    8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone -- inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'

    9 And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was.

    10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,

    11 and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,

    12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

    13 And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.'
