[23][Luke 2:15] And when the angels departed from them to heaven, the shepherds spake to one another and said, We will go to Bethlehem and see this word which hath been, as [24] the Lord made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and [25] Joseph, and the babe laid in a manger. And when they saw, they reported the word [26] which was spoken to them about the child.
