Luke
2:7-14 (English Standard Version)
7And
she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling
cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place
for them in the inn.
The Shepherds and the Angels
8And
in the same region there were shepherds out in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And
an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the
Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10And
the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you
good news of a great joy that will be for all the people.
11For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12And
this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped
in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." 13And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying,
14"Glory
to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom
he is pleased!"
