Luke 2:8-15

8And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

9And lo, an angel of [the] Lord was there by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.

10And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people;

11for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.

12And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.

13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising 1God and saying,

14Glory to 2God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.

15And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
