Christmas Bible verse coloring pages pair the words of the Christmas story with frames worth coloring in their own right: wise men following the star, angels over the shepherds’ fields, Mary beside the manger, holly, bells, and a stable full of animals. This set has 10 free printable pages, one for each verse. Every verse is from the King James Bible (public domain) and has been checked word for word, so what you print is exactly what the Scripture says — and the lettering is outlined, so you can color the words themselves.
About These Christmas Verses
The verses follow the Christmas story from promise to celebration: Isaiah’s promise that a child would be born, the angel’s announcement to the shepherds, the birth in Bethlehem, and the wise men following the star. Two verses of thanks (2 Corinthians 9:15 and James 1:17) round out the set — a good reminder, in the middle of the gift-giving season, where every good gift comes from. Print one page for a quiet December evening, or the whole set as an Advent countdown.

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." The manger waits in a little stable at the bottom of the page, watched by a donkey, a sheep, and a cow, while olive branches and the Christmas star frame the verse. Medium — best for kids.
Color the star gold and the olive branches in two shades of green. The animals look sweet in soft grays and browns so the manger stays the focus of the page.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Two angels blow their trumpets over swirling clouds and stars, with flowing knotwork winding down both sides of the frame. Detailed — best for teens and adults.
This frame rewards patience: pick two or three colors and repeat them through the knotwork so the pattern's rhythm shows. Gold and silver gel pens make the trumpets and stars shine.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." A simple wooden stable frames the verse, topped by the bright Christmas star, with a lantern and a fluffy lamb waiting below. Medium — best for kids.
Warm browns for the wood and golden yellow for the star and lantern light. One note: the hay under the lantern is shaded light gray in the artwork, so it prints with a soft head start.
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS." Mary kneels in prayer beside the manger inside a frame of winding lilies and stars — a quiet, reverent page. Detailed — best for teens and adults.
Lilies are traditionally white with gold centers, so leave the petals bright and color the stems, leaves, and stars around them. Mary's robe is classically blue.
"We have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." The three wise men ride their camels beneath the great star, gifts in hand, inside a frame sprinkled with stars. Detailed — best for teens and adults.
The kings' robes are patterned for rich color: try royal purple, deep red, and teal with gold trim. The star itself deserves your brightest gold.
"I bring you good tidings of great joy." The angel appears at the top of the frame in rays of light while two shepherds watch over their sheep in the fields below. Medium — best for kids.
Keep the angel's rays pale yellow or leave them white, and color the sky a deep blue around the stars — the contrast makes the top of the page glow.
"Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift." Stacks of wrapped presents pile up in the bottom corners under one enormous ribbon bow — the perfect frame for the gift verse. Medium — best for kids.
Every present can wear different wrapping paper: mix stripes, dots, and stars in red, green, and gold. A finished page makes a lovely Christmas card front.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above." A full holly frame — leaves, berries, and tiny gifts tucked into the corners — surrounds the verse. Medium — best for kids.
Holly is satisfying to color: two greens for the leaves (darker at the edges, lighter in the centers) and your brightest red for the berries. A pale cream wash inside the frame warms the whole page.
"The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." A single candle burns at the bottom of a dense evergreen frame of pine branches, pinecones, and berries. Detailed — best for teens and adults.
The flame is small, so make it count with yellow and orange, then add a soft glow around it in light yellow pencil. The pinecones read well in two browns with darker tips.
"O sing unto the LORD a new song." Two Christmas bells ring under a big bow while ribbons of music — staff lines, notes, and treble clefs — swirl down both sides of the frame, with holly in the corners. Medium — best for kids.
Gold or brass for the bells, red for the bow and holly berries, and any color you like for the music ribbons. Metallic gel pens were made for this page.
Coloring Tips for Christmas Verse Pages
- Gold is the Christmas accent for a reason: keep a gold gel pen or metallic pencil handy for the stars, the trumpets, and the bells on the Psalm 98 page.
- Frame first or verse first? Coloring the frame first keeps your hand off the finished lettering, and working top to bottom avoids smudging.
- Evergreen frames gain real depth when you layer two or three greens — dark for the shadowed needles, bright for the tips.
- The figures are small, so simple flat color works well: Mary's blue robe and the kings' jewel tones carry the story on their own.
- Finished pages make gifts: print the set on card stock and a colored verse page slips right into a Christmas card or a small frame.
FAQ
Which Bible translation are the verses?
The King James Version (KJV). It is in the public domain, so these pages are free for church, Sunday school, and home use — and every verse was checked word for word before publishing.
Can I use these in Sunday school or church?
Yes — free for personal, church, and classroom use. The Luke 2 pages walk through the Christmas story in order, which makes the set an easy Advent activity.
What paper should I print on?
US Letter (8.5x11) works best; A4 is fine with fit-to-page enabled. Card stock is a good choice if the finished page will be gifted or framed.
Are these only for kids?
No — the angel knotwork, the evergreen candle, and the wise men pages are detailed enough for teens and adults, while the gift and bells pages suit younger kids.
