15 The angels left them and went back to heaven. The men who were taking care of the sheep said to one another Let us go to Bethlehem and see what has happened. It is the Lord who has told us about it.
16 They went quickly. They found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the box where cows feed.
17 When they saw the child, they told what the angel had said to them about him.
18 All those who heard them were surprised at what the shepherds had told them.
