Luke:2:8-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And there were shepherds in that country abiding without ,
and keeping watch by night over their flock .
*
And lo ,
an angel of [
the ]
Lord was there by them ,
and [
the ]
glory of [
the ]
Lord shone around them ,
and they feared [
with ]
great fear .
*
And the angel said to them ,
Fear not ,
for behold ,
I announce to you glad tidings of great joy ,
which shall be to all the people ;
*
for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David '
s city ,
who is Christ [
the ]
Lord .
*
And this is the sign to you :
ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes ,
and 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 ,
good pleasure in men .
*
And it came to pass ,
as the angels departed from them into heaven ,
that the shepherds said to one another ,
Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem ,
and let us see this thing that is come to pass ,
which the Lord has made known to us .
*
And they came with haste ,
and found both Mary and Joseph ,
and the babe lying in the manger ;
*
and having seen [
it ]
they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child .
*
And all who heard [
it ]
wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds .
*
But Mary kept all these things [
in her mind ],
pondering [
them ]
in her heart .
*
And the shepherds returned ,
glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen ,
as it had been said to them .
