9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified.
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:
11 Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord.
13 Suddenly a vast, heavenly army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!”
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.”
16 So they hurried off and located Mary and Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger.

18 and all who heard it were astonished at what the shepherds said.
30 So the angel said to her,“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God!
31 Listen: You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

21 She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled:
23 “Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Emmanuel,” which means“God with us.”
14 For this reason the Lord himself will give you a confirming sign. Look, this young woman is about to conceive and will give birth to a son. You, young woman, will name him Immanuel.

8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said,“Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, inform me so that I can go and worship him as well.”

6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
14 Joy and gladness will come to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.
31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples:
32 a light, for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”

34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary,“Listen carefully: This child is destined to be the cause of the falling and rising of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be rejected.
