Living_Oracles(i)
8 Now there were shepherds in the fields in that country, who tended their flocks by turns through the night watches.
9 On a sudden, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and a divine glory encompassed them with light, and they were frightened exceedingly.
10 But the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings, which shall prove matter of great joy to all the people;
11 because today is born to you in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Lord Messiah.
12 And by this you shall know him; you shall find a babe in swaddling bands, lying in a manger.
13 Instantly the angel was attended by a multitude of the heavenly host, who praised God, saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace, and good will amongst men!
