    THE BIRTH OF CHRIST

    ..................

    THERE WAS IN THE DAYS of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron. And her name was Elisabeth. They were both righteous before God. And they had no child.

    And it came to pass that Zacharias went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the people were praying without. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

    But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit; and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before the Lord to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

    And Zacharias said, Whereby shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years?

    And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to show thee these glad tidings. And behold, thou shalt be dumb and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believest not my words which shall be fulfilled in their season.

    And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple. And when he came out he could not speak unto them; and they knew that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned unto them, and was speechless.

    And the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

    And the angel came to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him she was troubled at his saying.

    And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord shall give unto him the throne of his father David, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

    Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be?

    And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall over-shadow thee; therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

    And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

    And the angel departed from her.

    Now Elisabeth brought forth a son, and her neighbors and cousins rejoiced with her. And it came to pass on the eighth day that they called him Zacharias after the name of his father.

    And his mother answered and said, Not so, but he shall be called ‘John.’

    And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father how he would have him called.

    And he wrote saying, His name is John. And they marveled all. And the mouth of Zacharias was opened, and he spoke and praised God and said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people, to perform the mercy promised to our fathers that he would grant unto us, that we might serve him without fear all the days of our life. And thou child shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways.

    And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

    Now the birth of Jesus was on this wise. There went out a command from Caesar that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one to his own city. And Joseph went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth, unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem, to be taxed with Mary his wife. And so it was that while they were there, Mary brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

    And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 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.

    And the angel said unto them, "Fear not, for
