Luke 2:6-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ And while they were there, the time came for her delivery,

⁷ And she gave birth to her Son, her Firstborn; and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for them in the inn.

⁸ And in that vicinity there were shepherds living [out under the open sky] in the field, watching [in shifts] over their flock by night.

⁹ And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord flashed and shone all about them, and they were terribly frightened.

¹⁰ But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people.

¹¹ For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord!^(A)

¹² And this will be a sign for you [by which you will recognize Him]: you will find [^[a]after searching] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.^(B)

¹³ Then suddenly there appeared with the angel an army of the troops of heaven (^[b]a heavenly knighthood), praising God and saying,

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest [heaven], and on earth peace among men with whom He is well pleased [^[c]men of goodwill, of His favor].
