what books chapter and verses tell the Christmas story in the bible?

Answer 1

Luke 2:1-20 :: King James Version (KJV)

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria). And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Answer 2

Luke Chapters 1-2

Matthew Chapter 1:18 - 2:23



These two are the only books of the Gospels that tell the Nativity
(Christmas Story.)

Answer 3

All four gospels have accounts of the last days of Christ and they are near the end of each gospel so are not exactly hard to find. The Easter story started with the entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19:28, John 12:12 ) which is celebrated on Palm Sunday. It moves on to the Last supper (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:12, Luke 22, John13) - Maunday Thursday and continues through the Passion (Good Friday) and death of Christ to the Resurrection (Easter Sunday). This is the true meaning of the ancient Christian festival called "Easter" in English which has been celebrated for over 1800 years - back to at least within 100 years of the events. Paganism is totally irrelevant and the supposed links to it are a modern fantasy.
