What does Luke 2:11 mean?

This is one of the Bible's most often-quoted verses. As part of the "nativity story" (Luke 2:1–16), these words are frequently read aloud during the Christmas season as the world celebrates the birth of Jesus. This message is spoken to common shepherds (Luke 2:8), shortly after Mary gave birth to Christ (Luke 2:6–7), in the very place predicted by prophecy (Micah 5:2). The One just born is the promised Savior (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6–7), whose arrival is truly good news for the entire world (Luke 2:9–10).

As part of this message, the angel will tell the shepherds where to find this newborn Jesus (Luke 2:12). The once-terrified men will then be treated to the sight and sound of numerous angels praising God (Luke 2:13–14).
