Luke 2:9

2:9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified.

tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:11.

tn Or “stood in front of.”

tn Grk “they feared a great fear” (a Semitic idiom which intensifies the main idea, in this case their fear).
