Luke 2:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, ⁷ and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger,^[a] because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸ In the nearby countryside there were shepherds living in the fields and keeping watch over their flock throughout the night.
