They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother.

The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

For today in the city of David, a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.

The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.

John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.”

I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’”

Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
