Glory in the Highest
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
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 “Glorya to God in the highest,
And on earth bpeace, cgoodwill toward men!”
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.
17 Now when they had seen Him, they made1 widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 aBut Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and apraising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
Circumcision of Jesus
21 aAnd when eight days were completed1 for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called bJesus, the name given by the angel cbefore He was conceived in the womb.
