LUKE 2

Responding to the angel’s announcement, shepherds went to see Jesus.

8 That night, there were some shepherds who were taking care of their sheep as usual in the fields near Bethlehem. 9 An angel from God appeared to them. A great light ◄from the Lord/from God► shone on them and around them. So they became very afraid. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid! I have come to tell you good news, which will make you very happy! This message is for everyone to hear. 11 The message is that today a baby has been born in Bethlehem, the town where King David grew up. That baby will eventually save you from the guilt of your sins! He is the Messiah, your Lord!
