Luke 2:9 in Context — Luke 2

7 et elle enfanta son fils premier-né. Elle l’emmaillota, et le coucha dans une crèche, parce qu’il n’y avait pas de place pour eux dans l’hôtellerie.

8 Il y avait, dans cette même contrée, des bergers qui passaient dans les champs les veilles de la nuit pour garder leurs troupeaux.

9 Et voici, un ange du Seigneur leur apparut, et la gloire du Seigneur resplendit autour d’eux. Ils furent saisis d’une grande frayeur.

10 Mais l’ange leur dit: Ne craignez point; car je vous annonce une bonne nouvelle, qui sera pour tout le peuple le sujet d’une grande joie:

11 c’est qu’aujourd’hui, dans la ville de David, il vous est né un Sauveur, qui est le Christ, le Seigneur.
