The Gospel Written by Angulu

Chapter 9

1Now after some months a decree went forth to prepare to be registered in the place of their birth so that they may be taxed. Joseph took Mary out of Nazareth into Judea and into Bethlehem, this city of his nativity. And Mary was near the time that she would bring forth her child. For Joseph had prepared a donkey and put his wife upon its back. Now they did come neigh unto Bethlehem an Joseph saw that his wife was in pain. Now they looked round about and found a cave. And there was a palm tree near the entrance to the cave. And he took her from the donkey to place her in the mouth of the cave. But because of her pain she stumbled and grasped the trunk of the tree. And he laid her down at the mouth. And the time came that her child should be born and because of this Joseph went to find a woman to bring forth the child. And after a time he found a midwife and brought her to the cave. And when they were in the cave it was filled with glorious lights, even brighter than they could bear. It was far brighter than the midday sun. Now during this time the child came forth from Mary. And when the baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes Mary took him and he sucked at her breast.
