8 Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,

9 when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.

10 But the angel said to them, »Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy–joy for all the People.

11 For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
