8 Now there were shepherds in the fields in that country, who tended their flocks by turns through the night watches.

9 On a sudden, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and a divine glory encompassed them with light, and they were frightened exceedingly.

10 But the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings, which shall prove matter of great joy to all the people;

11 because today is born to you in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Lord Messiah.
