AV Translation:

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

1901 ASV Translation:

16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

Textual Issues: In 2:16 there is a one-letter difference in the spelling of the word translated "they came" which is insignificant. In 2:17 the Textus Receptus has an intensified form of the verb "they made known", whereas the Nestle/Aland 26 has the same word without the intensive prefix.
