Luke 2:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 2:11

9 And¹ behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, ^aand they were greatly afraid.

10 Then the angel said to them, ^a“Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy ^bwhich will be to all people.

11 ^aFor there is born to you this day in the city of David ^ba Savior, ^cwho is Christ the Lord.

12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a¹ manger.”

13 ^aAnd suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14 “Glory^a to God in the highest,
And on earth ^bpeace, ^cgoodwill toward men!”

15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”

16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
