Luke 2:10-19
2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! Listen carefully,
for I proclaim to you good news
that brings great joy to all the people:
2:11 Today
your Savior is born in the city
of David.
He is Christ
the Lord.
2:12 This
will be a sign
for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
2:13 Suddenly
a vast, heavenly army
appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
2:14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!”
2:15 When the angels left them and went back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, that the Lord has made known to us.”
2:16 So they hurried off and located Mary and Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger.
2:17 When they saw him, they related what they had been told about this child,
2:18 and all who heard it were astonished at what the shepherds said.
2:19 But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean.
