New Testament

Luke 2:11-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. For today a Saviour has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.

12. And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."

13. And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,

14. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will."

15. And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us."

16. And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.

17. Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.

18. And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
