The Shepherds and the Angels
Luke 2:8-20
8
And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
9
And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
10
Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
11
That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
12
And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
13
And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
14
Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
15
And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
16
So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
17
And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
18
And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
19
But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
20
And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
