“And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:11 To you - Shepherds; Israel; mankind.
2:14 Glory be to God in the highest; on earth peace; good will toward men - The shouts of the multitude are generally broken into short sentences. This rejoicing acclamation strongly represents the piety and benevolence of these heavenly spirits: as if they had said, Glory be to God in the highest heavens: let all the angelic legions resound his praises. For with the Redeemer's birth, peace, and all kind of happiness, come down to dwell on earth: yea, the overflowings of Divine good will and favour are now exercised toward men.
Lu 2:12 A sign to you. The "sign" was not itself a miraculous one, but the prediction of it was so. The babe, the swaddle, and the manger were the three tokens.
