* Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields , keeping watch over their flock by night . * And behold , an angel of the Lord stood before them , and the glory of the Lord shone around them , and they were greatly afraid . * Then the angel said to them , "Do not be afraid , for behold , I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people . * For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior , who is Christ the Lord . * And this will be the sign to you : You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths , lying in a manger ." * And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying : * "Glory to God in the highest , And on earth peace , goodwill toward men !" * So it was , when the angels had gone away from them into heaven , that the shepherds said to one another , "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass , which the Lord has made known to us ." * And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph , and the Babe lying in a manger . * Now when they had seen Him , they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child . * And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds . * But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart . * Then the shepherds returned , glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen , as it was told them .
