8 And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field and keeping the night-watches over their flock, 9 and behold, a messenger of the LORD stood over them, and the glory of the LORD shone around them, and they feared [with] a great fear. 10 And the messenger said to them, "Do not fear, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be to all the people, 11 because today in the city of David a Savior was born to you, who is Christ the LORD! 12 And this [is] the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped up, lying in the manger." 13 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 14 "Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, among men—good will!" 15 And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said to one another, "We may indeed go over to Beth-Lehem and see this thing that has come to pass, that the LORD made known to us!" 16 And they came, having hurried, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger, 17 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the Child. 18 And all who heard [it] wondered concerning the things spoken to them by the shepherds; 19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering [them] in her heart; 20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken to them.
