And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them. "Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people. "For unto you born this day in there is born in David's town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord. "And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him" Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us." so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child. And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds. But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them. When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
