13 He prayed to him, and (A)God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. (B)Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
14 Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of (C)Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into (D)the Fish Gate, and carried it around (E)Ophel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 And (F)he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city. 16 He also restored the altar of the Lord and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 (G)Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and (H)his prayer to his God, and the words of (I)the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the (J)Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 19 And his prayer, and how (K)God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites (L)on which he built high places and set up the (M)Asherim and the images, before (N)he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.[a]

The Birth of Jesus Christ
2 In those days (A)a decree went out from (B)Caesar Augustus that all the world should be (C)registered. 2 This was the first (D)registration when[a] Quirinius (E)was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up (F)from Galilee, from the town of (G)Nazareth, to Judea, to (H)the city of David, which is called (I)Bethlehem, (J)because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,[b] who was with child. 6 And (K)while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and (L)wrapped him in swaddling cloths and (M)laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in (N)the inn.[c]
The Shepherds and the Angels
8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord (O)appeared to them, and (P)the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all (Q)the people. 11 For (R)unto you is born this day in (S)the city of David (T)a Savior, who is (U)Christ (V)the Lord. 12 And (W)this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby (X)wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel (Y)a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 (Z)“Glory to God (AA)in the highest,
(AB)and on earth (AC)peace (AD)among those with whom he is pleased!”[d]
