Lord shone round about them: and they were
sore afraid.10And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; for, behold, I bring you tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you
is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a
sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
