8
That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep.
9
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terribly frightened,
10
but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I bring you good news of great joy for everyone!
11
The Savior -- yes, the Messiah, the Lord -- has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David!
12
And this is how you will recognize him: You will find a baby lying in a manger, wrapped snugly in strips of cloth!"
