διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἄγγελος ἐπιστὰς τοῖς ποιμέσι φησί, δόξαν ποιήσας περιλάμπειν αὐτούς· »Μὴ φοβεῖσθε, ἰδοὺ γὰρ εὐαγγελίζομαι ὑμῖν χαρὰν »μεγάλην ἥτις ἔσται παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, ὅτι ἐτέχθη ὑμῖν σήμερον σωτήρ, »ὅς ἐστι Χριστὸς κύριος, ἐν πόλει Δαβίδ«· ὅτε καὶ μηδέπω ἀνθρώπων συνιέντων τὸ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου μυστήριον οἱ κρείττονες αὐτῶν, οὐράνιος τυγχάνοντες στρατιὰ θεοῦ, αἰνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν λέγουσι· »Δόξα »ἐν ὑψίστοις θεῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη, ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκία.«
