Luke 2:8

Announcement to shepherds

8 Nearby shepherds were living in the fields, guarding their sheep at night.

Luke 2:8 In-Context

6 While they were there, the time came for Mary to have her baby.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn child, a son, wrapped him snugly, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the guestroom.
8 Nearby shepherds were living in the fields, guarding their sheep at night.
9 The Lord's angel stood before them, the Lord's glory shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 The angel said, "Don't be afraid! Look! I bring good news to you—wonderful, joyous news for all people.
