The Adoration of the Shepherds

Saint Luke - Chapter 2

The adoration of the shepherds. J-J Tissot

[15] Et factum est, ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in caelum : pastores loquebantur ad invicem : Transeamus usque Bethlehem, et videamus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nobis.
And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.

[16] Et venerunt festinantes : et invenerunt Mariam, et Joseph, et infantem positum in praesepio.
And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.

[17] Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc.
And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.

[18] Et omnes qui audierunt, mirati sunt : et de his quae dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos.
And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.

[19] Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec, conferens in corde suo.
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.

[20] Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum in omnibus quae audierant et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum tutus semper sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
