Luke 2:6-10

⁶At Bethlehem they couldn’t find any room to stay in, so they had to sleep in the place where the animals ate their food. Then the time came for Mary to have her baby. She had her baby right there, and she wrapped him up in some strips of cloth and put him down to sleep in an animal’s feed box.

⁸Not far away, on that same night, some men were out in the grass lands looking after their sheep.

⁹Suddenly, an angel messenger from heaven stood there with them, and bright light from God was shining all around them, and they were very frightened.

¹⁰But the angel said, “Don’t be frightened. I’ve got real good news for you, and good news for everyone in the world, too.
