And an angel of the Lord (E)appeared to them, and (F)the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all (G)the people. 11 For (H)unto you is born this day in (I)the city of David (J)a Savior, who is (K)Christ (L)the Lord.
