The Name of Jesus

Luke 2:15-21

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to
one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken
place, which the Lord has made known to us."  So they went with haste and
found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger.  When they saw
this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all
who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.  But Mary
treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.  The shepherds
returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as
it had been told them.

After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he
was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in
the womb.
