Lukas 2,15

Bethlehem

13 Med ett var det sammen med engelen en himmelsk hærskare som lovpriste Gud og sa:

14 "Ære være Gud i det høyeste,
og fred på jorden blant mennesker som har Guds velbehag."

Da englene hadde forlatt dem og vendt tilbake til himmelen, sa hyrdene til hverandre: "La oss gå til Betlehem og se dette som har hendt, som Herren har kunngjort for oss."

16 De skyndte seg av sted og fant Maria og Josef, og barnet som lå i krybben.

17 Da de hadde sett det, fortalte de om det som var blitt sagt dem om dette barnet.
