The Announcement
Luk 2:8 And there were shepherds in the same
country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Luk 2:9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Luk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Be not
afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all
the people:
Luk 2:11 for there is born to you this day in
the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Luk 2:12 And this is
the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying
in a manger.
Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, And on
earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
