And they came with haste
In the night, leaving their flocks, to see their incarnate Lord,
as Zacchaeus hastened down from the tree to receive the Saviour.
The wonderfulness of the vision, the importance of the thing
related, the eagerness of their spirits to see the thing that was
told them, put them on making quick dispatch, and hastening to
the city with all speed:
and found Mary and Joseph;
as they had been directed by the angel, in the city of Bethlehem,
in an inn there, and in a stable in the inn:
and the babe lying in a manger:
where Mary had put it as soon as born, and had wrapped it in
swaddling clothes; because there was no room in the inn, and as
the angel had told them they should find it, ( Luke 2:12 )
