Luke 2:6-7 (NKJV)
6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 
7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Matthew 2:1-12 (NKJV)
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,
2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
6 ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

Lucas 2:8-20 (NVI)
8 En esa misma región había unos pastores que pasaban la noche en el campo, turnándose para cuidar sus rebaños.
9 Sucedió que un ángel del Señor se les apareció. La gloria del Señor los envolvió en su luz, y se llenaron de temor.
10 Pero el ángel les dijo: «No tengáis miedo. Mirad que os traigo buenas noticias que serán motivo de mucha alegría para todo el pueblo.
11 Hoy os ha nacido en la Ciudad de David un Salvador, que es Cristo el Señor.
12 Esto os servirá de señal: Encontraréis a un niño envuelto en pañales y acostado en un pesebre».
13 De repente apareció una multitud de ángeles del cielo, que alababan a Dios y decían:
14 «Gloria a Dios en las alturas, y en la tierra paz a los que gozan de su buena voluntad».
15 Cuando los ángeles se fueron al cielo, los pastores se dijeron unos a otros: «Vamos a Belén, a ver esto que ha pasado y que el Señor nos ha dado a conocer».
16 Así que fueron de prisa y encontraron a María y a José, y al niño que estaba acostado en el pesebre.
17 Cuando vieron al niño, contaron lo que les habían dicho acerca de él,
18 y cuantos lo oyeron se asombraron de lo que los pastores decían.
19 María, por su parte, guardaba todas estas cosas en su corazón y meditaba acerca de ellas.
20 Los pastores regresaron glorificando y alabando a Dios por lo que habían visto y oído, pues todo sucedió tal como se les había dicho.

Luke 2:8-20 (NKJV)
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 
9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 
10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 
11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 
12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And 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, goodwill toward men!”
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 
16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 
17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 
18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 
19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 
20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

Mateo 1:18-24 (NVI)
18 El nacimiento de Jesús, el Cristo, fue así: su madre, María, estaba comprometida para casarse con José, pero, antes de unirse a él, resultó que estaba encinta por obra del Espíritu Santo.
19 Como José, su esposo, era un hombre justo y no quería exponerla a vergüenza pública, resolvió divorciarse de ella en secreto.
20 Pero, cuando él estaba considerando hacerlo, se le apareció en sueños un ángel del Señor y le dijo: «José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María por esposa, porque ella ha concebido por obra del Espíritu Santo.
21 Dará a luz un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados».
22 Todo esto sucedió para que se cumpliera lo que el Señor había dicho por medio del profeta:
23 «La virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, y lo llamarán Emanuel» (que significa «Dios con nosotros»).
24 Cuando José se despertó, hizo lo que el ángel del Señor le había mandado y recibió a María por esposa.

Matthew 1:18-24 (NKJV)
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

Lucas 1:46-55 (NVI)
46 Entonces dijo María: «Mi alma glorifica al Señor,
47 y mi espíritu se regocija en Dios mi Salvador,
48 porque se ha dignado fijarse en su humilde sierva. Desde ahora me llamarán dichosa todas las generaciones,
49 porque el Poderoso ha hecho grandes cosas por mí. ¡Santo es su nombre!
50 De generación en generación se extiende su misericordia a los que le temen.
51 Hizo proezas con su brazo; desbarató las intrigas de los soberbios.
52 De sus tronos derrocó a los poderosos, mientras que ha exaltado a los humildes.
53 A los hambrientos los colmó de bienes, y a los ricos los despidió con las manos vacías.
54 Acudió en ayuda de su siervo Israel
55 y, cumpliendo su promesa a nuestros padres, mostró su misericordia a Abraham y a su descendencia para siempre».

Luke 1:46-55 (NKJV)
46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.”

Lucas 1:26-38 (NVI)
26 A los seis meses, Dios envió al ángel Gabriel a Nazaret, pueblo de Galilea,
27 a visitar a una joven virgen comprometida para casarse con un hombre que se llamaba José, descendiente de David. La virgen se llamaba María.
28 El ángel se acercó a ella y le dijo:
―¡Te saludo, tú que has recibido el favor de Dios! El Señor está contigo.
29 Ante estas palabras, María se perturbó, y se preguntaba qué podría significar este saludo.
30 ―No tengas miedo, María; Dios te ha concedido su favor —le dijo el ángel—.
31 Concebirás y darás a luz un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús. 32Él será un gran hombre, y lo llamarán Hijo del Altísimo. Dios el Señor le dará el trono de su padre David, 33y reinará sobre el pueblo de Jacob para siempre. Su reinado no tendrá fin.
34 ―¿Cómo podrá suceder esto —le preguntó María al ángel—, puesto que soy virgen?
35 ―El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti, y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá con su sombra. Así que al santo niño que va a nacer lo llamarán Hijo de Dios.
36 También tu parienta Elisabet va a tener un hijo en su vejez; de hecho, la que decían que era estéril ya está en el sexto mes de embarazo.
37 Porque para Dios no hay nada imposible.
38 ―Aquí tienes a la sierva del Señor —contestó María—. Que él haga conmigo como me has dicho.
Después de esto, el ángel la dejó.

Luke 1:26-38 (NKJV)
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.
33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Santiago 1:21-27 (NVI)
21 Por esto, despojaos de toda inmundicia y de la maldad que tanto abunda, para que podáis recibir con humildad la palabra sembrada en vosotros, la cual tiene poder para salvaros la vida.
22 No os contentéis solo con escuchar la palabra, pues así os engañáis vosotros mismos. Llevadla a la práctica.
23 El que escucha la palabra, pero no la pone en práctica es como el que se mira el rostro en un espejo
24 y, después de mirarse, se va y se olvida en seguida de cómo es.
25 Pero quien se fija atentamente en la ley perfecta que da libertad, y persevera en ella, no olvidando lo que ha oído, sino haciéndolo, recibirá bendición al practicarla.
26 Si alguien se cree religioso, pero no le pone freno a su lengua, se engaña a sí mismo, y su religión no sirve para nada.
27 La religión pura y sin mancha delante de Dios nuestro Padre es esta: atender a los huérfanos y a las viudas en sus aflicciones, y conservarse limpio de la corrupción del mundo.
