8 There were some shepherds in that part of the country who were spending the night in the fields, taking care of their flocks.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone over them. They were terribly afraid,
10 but the angel said to them, “Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people.
11 This very day in David's town your Saviour was born — Christ the Lord!
12 And this is what will prove it to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great army of heaven's angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God:
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,and peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased!”
