And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
