AND there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over 9 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 10 sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear

not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of 11 great joy, which shall be to : all people. “For Gen.123.

12. The circumcision and presentation of Christ
in the temple.

L. 2.
*And when eight days were accomplished for
the circumcising of the child, his name was
called JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the womb.

And when the days of her purification ac- 22 2, 3, 4, 6. cording to the law of Moses were accomplished,

they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him

to the Lord; (as it is written in the law of the 23 • Ex. 13.2. Lord, “Every male that openeth the womb shall & 22. 29. be called holy to the Lord ;) and to offer a sa- 24 Nu. 3. 13. crifice according to d that which is said in the

law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two 4 Lev. 12. young pigeons. 2, 6, 8.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, 25

whose name was Simeon; and the same man * Is. 40.1. was just and devout, waiting for the consola

tion of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon

him. And it was revealed unto him by the 26 * Ps. 89.48. Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, beHeb. 11. 5. fore he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he 27

came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, then took 28

he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and h 18. 52.10. said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart 29 Is.9.2. in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes 30

Anna's prophecy.

13 L. 2. that the thoughts of many hearts may be re

vealed.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she

was of a great age, and had lived with an hus-
37 band seven years from her virginity; and she

was a widow of about fourscore and four years,
which departed not from the temple, but served

God with fastings and prayers " night and day. - Acts 26. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks 2 1 Tim.

likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all
them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of A. D. 1. Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came

a from the east to Jeru- a Gen. 10. 2 salem, saying, Where is he that is born King Kin4.30. of the Jews ? for we have seen his star in the bNum. 24. east, and are come to worship him.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests 2 Chron and scribes of the people together, he de-a 2 Chron. manded of them where Christ should be born. 34. 13. 6 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Ju6 dæa : for thus it is written by the prophet, 'And ? Mic. 5. 2. thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda : for out of

thee shall come a Governor, $that shall rule my 6 Rev.227. 7 people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily

called the wise men, 'enquired of them diligently 8 what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
