Lukas 2:16

16 Und sie kamen eilend und fanden beide, Maria und Joseph, dazu das Kind in der Krippe liegen.

Lukas 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 2:16

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 )

Lukas 2:16 In-Context

14 Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe und Frieden auf Erden und den Menschen ein Wohlgefallen.

15 Und da die Engel von ihnen gen Himmel fuhren, sprachen die Hirten untereinander: Laßt uns nun gehen gen Bethlehem und die Geschichte sehen, die da geschehen ist, die uns der HERR kundgetan hat.

16 Und sie kamen eilend und fanden beide, Maria und Joseph, dazu das Kind in der Krippe liegen.

17 Da sie es aber gesehen hatten, breiteten sie das Wort aus, welches zu ihnen von diesem Kinde gesagt war.

18 Und alle, vor die es kam, wunderten sich der Rede, die ihnen die Hirten gesagt hatten.
