The shepherds, the angel, and the baby in the feeding trough

목자들에게 나타난 주의 사자와 구유에 누인 아기

Luke 2:8–20: there are shepherds in the same country staying in the field and keeping watch by night over their flock. An angel of the Lord stands by them, and the glory of the Lord shines around them, and they are terrified. The angel says to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people. For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.” Suddenly there is with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.” When the angels have gone away from them into the sky, the shepherds say to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” They come with haste and find both Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the feeding trough. When they see it, they publicize widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child, and all who hear it wonder at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. But Mary keeps all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. The shepherds return, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they have heard and seen, just as it was told them.
