New Century Version

Luke 2:5-9 New Century Version (NCV)

5. Joseph registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was now pregnant.

6. While they were in Bethlehem, the time came for Mary to have the baby,

7. and she gave birth to her first son. Because there were no rooms left in the inn, she wrapped the baby with pieces of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough.

8. That night, some shepherds were in the fields nearby watching their sheep.

9. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them. The glory of the Lord was shining around them, and they became very frightened.
