Luke 2:10-14
10And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold,
I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all
the people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12And this
will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped
in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13And
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 those
with whom he is pleased!”
