was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word
concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it
were amazed... But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in
her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the
things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2:16-20
[An angel of
the Lord said,] "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to
you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a

saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on
whom his favor rests." Luke 2:11-14
And there were
shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks

"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for
all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:8-11

inn. Luke 2:6-7
In those days
Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire

line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be
married to him and was expecting a child.
[Zechariah
prophesied concerning John,] "You, my child, will be called a prophet
of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for

said,] "Praise be to the Lord, God of Israel, because he has come and
has redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the
house of his servant David, as he said through his holy prophets long
ago." Luke 1:68-70
An angel of
the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived

to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their
sins." Matthew

Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign
over the house of Jacob forever." Luke 1:30-33
God sent the
angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be
married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was
Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly
favored! The Lord is with you." Luke 1:26-28
When King Herod
had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law,
he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in
Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:
'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the least among
the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the
shepherd of my people Israel.'" Matthew 2:4-6

disciples." John 15:5,8

answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me." John 14:6

"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me - just
as the Father knows me and I know the Father - and I lay down my life for
the sheep." John 10:14-15
Jesus said,
"I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep; whoever enters
through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may
have life, and have it the full." John 10:7,9-10

spoke again to the people, he said,"I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of
life." John 8:12

declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go
hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:35
In the past
God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in
various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom
he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2
In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He
was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling
among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came
from the Father, full of grace and truth.

comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:15-16

you owe him: If you owe taxes,
pay taxes; if revenue, then
revenue; if respect, then
respect; if honor, then honor. “ Romans 13:6

but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
