    8The Shepherds’ Visit Now there were shepherds nearby living out in the field, keeping guard over their flock at night.

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

    10But 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:

    11Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord.

    12This will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”

    13Suddenly 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!”

    15When 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.”

    16So they hurried off and located Mary and Joseph, and found the baby lying in a manger.

    17When they saw him, they related what they had been told about this child,

    18and all who heard it were astonished at what the shepherds said.

    19But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean.

    20So the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen; everything was just as they had been told.

    21At the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
