The Shepherds and the Angels
8
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9
And an angel of the Lord
1
appeared to them, and
2
the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
10
And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all
3
the people.
11
For
4
unto you is born this day in
5
the city of David
6
a Savior, who is
7
Christ
8
the Lord.
12
And
9
this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby
10
wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger. ”
13
And suddenly there was with the angel
11
a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14
12
“Glory to God
13
in the highest,
14
and on earth
15
peace
16
among those with whom he is pleased! ”
