Contextual Overview

8 And there were, shepherds, in the same country, dwelling in the fields, and keeping the watches of the night over their flock. 9 And, a messenger of the Lord, stood over them, and, a glory of the Lord, shone round about them; and they feared, a great fear. 10 And the messenger said unto them - Be not afraid! For lo! I bring you good tidings of a great joy, the which shall be for all the people: 11 That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, - Who is Christ the Lord - in the city of David! 12 And, this, to you is, a sign: Ye shall find a babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. 13 And, suddenly, there came to be, with the messenger, the throng of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying - 14 Glory, in the highest, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill. 15 And it came to pass, when the messengers had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another - Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us. 16 And they came, with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. 17 Now, when they beheld, they made known concerning the thing which had been told them as to this 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.
