₁₅When the angels went away from them back into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us.”

₁₆So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and saw the baby lying in the manger. ₁₇When the shepherds saw him, they told them what the angel had said about the child. ₁₈All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said. ₁₉Mary remembered all these things and thought deeply about them. ₂₀The shepherds went back, singing praises to God for all they had heard and seen; it had been just as the angel had told them.

₂₁A week later, when the time came for the baby to be circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given him before he had been conceived.
