But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby…
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 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.
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne…
Mary said, “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…. The Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name.”
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.
