42:001:078 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us,
42:001:079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow

42:001:080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the

42:002:001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
42:002:002 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
42:002:003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
42:002:004 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
42:002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.
42:002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
42:002:007 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
