And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the
Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the
angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a
great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be
a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and
lying in a manger.”
