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.
