Luke 2:9-20

9 And behold◦, the angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they feared with great fear.
10 And the angel said◦ to them, Fear not◦; for◦ behold◦, I bring· you ·good·​·tidings of great joy which◦ shall be to all the people.
11 For to you is born this·​·day a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: you shall find the Babe wrapped·​·in·​·swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was◦ with◦ the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
14 Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, good·​·will among men.
15 And it came·​·to·​·pass, as the angels went·​·away◦ from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said◦ one· to ·another, Let us now go1 even to▵ Bethlehem, and see◦ this saying that has come·​·to·​·pass, which the Lord has made·​·known to us.
16 And they came in·​·haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in the manger.
17 And◦ when they had seen◦, they made·​·known·​·abroad the saying which was spoken to them concerning this little·​·Child.
18 And all who heard marveled at those things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 But◦ Mary kept2 all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen◦, as it was spoken to them.
