Luke 2:8

Contemporary English Version 1995

That night in the fields near Bethlehem some shepherds were guarding their sheep.

See the chapter Copy

she gave birth to her first-born son. She dressed him in baby clothes and laid him on a bed of hay, because there was no room for them in the inn.

All at once an angel came down to them from the Lord, and the brightness of the Lord's glory flashed around them. The shepherds were frightened.
