LUKE 2: 1-7

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be
taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place
while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own
town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in
Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to
the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who
was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they
were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to
her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,
because there was no guest room available for them.

LUKE 2: 8-13

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch
over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the
glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the
angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause
great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been
born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You
will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a
great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God
and saying,

LUKE 2: 14-16

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on
whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into
heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see
this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they
hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the
manger.

REVELATION 22:1-5
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as
crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle
of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves
of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any
curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his
servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on
their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light
of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.

And they will reign for ever and ever.

LUKE 2:17-20

17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had
been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at
what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things
and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things they had heard and seen which were just as
they had been told.
