13 And suddenly there was with the angel (A)a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

14 (B)“Glory to God (C)in the highest,
    (D)and on earth (E)peace (F)among those with whom he is pleased!”[a]

15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby (G)lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But (H)Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, (I)glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

21 And (J)at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, (K)he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
