15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. Luke 2:15-16, 20
