Contextual Overview

8And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field and keeping the night-watches over their flock, 9and behold, a messenger of the LORD stood over them, and the glory of the LORD shone around them, and they feared [with] a great fear. 10And the messenger said to them, "Do not fear, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be to all the people, 11because today in the city of David a Savior was born to you, who is Christ the LORD! 12And this [is] the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped up, lying in the manger." 13And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 14"Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, among men—good will!" 15And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said to one another, "We may indeed go over to Beth-Lehem and see this thing that has come to pass, that the LORD made known to us!" 16And they came, having hurried, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger, 17and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the Child.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all they that heard it,.... What the shepherds related of what they had heard from the angel, and from Joseph and Mary, and what they had seen themselves;

wondered at those things that were told them by the shepherds: for though they expected the Messiah, and that he would be born at Bethlehem, yet they did not imagine that he would be born of such mean parents, and appear in such mean circumstances, and in so contemptible a place; and that shepherds, and not the princes of Israel, should have the first notice of it; and yet the account which these shepherd, who were plain hearted men, and could never be thought to invent such a story, and spread it, and impose on men, without any interest in it, was very surprising; so that they knew not what to say to it, neither to deny, nor believe it; accordingly, the Persic version renders the whole thus, "and whoever heard, wondering, stuck at it"; hesitated about it, and yet astonished at the particulars of it; just as Christ's hearers were in Luke 4:22 who wondered at his ministry, and the manner of it, and yet objected the meanness of his parentage and education.
