| 6 | And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. |
| 7 | And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. |
| 8 | And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. |
| 9 | And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. |
| 10 | And the angel said to them, “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; |
| 11 | for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. |
| 12 | And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” |
| 13 | And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, |
| 14 | “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!” |
— Luke 2: 6-14
