Peace

Luke 2:
1In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2This was the first enrollment, when Quirin'i-us was governor of Syria.  3And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.  4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,  5to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.  6And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered.  7And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.  10And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people;  11for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."  13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,  14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"
