The angel said to them. 10 "Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people. 11 "For unto you born this day in there is born in David's town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord. 12 "And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger." 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
