Luke 2:8 And
there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night. 9 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. 10 And
the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15
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. 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. 19 But Mary kept all
these things, and pondered them in
her heart.
