SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:18
Y todos los que oyeron, se maravillaron de lo que los pastores les decían.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And all they that heard it , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-20 - Angels were heralds of the new-born Saviour, but they were only sent to some poor, humble, pious, industrious shepherds, who were in the business of their calling, keeping watch over their flock. We are no out of the way of Divine visits, when we are employed in an hones calling, and abide with God in it. Let God have the honour of thi work; Glory to God in the highest. God's good-will to men, manifeste in sending the Messiah, redounds to his praise. Other works of God ar for his glory, but the redemption of the world is for his glory in the highest. God's goodwill in sending the Messiah, brought peace into thi lower world. Peace is here put for all that good which flows to us from Christ's taking our nature upon him. This is a faithful saying attested by an innumerable company of angels, and well worthy of all acceptation, That the good-will of God toward men, is glory to God in the highest, and peace on the earth. The shepherds lost no time, but came with haste to the place. They were satisfied, and made know abroad concerning this child, that he was the Saviour, even Christ the Lord. Mary carefully observed and thought upon all these things, whic were so suited to enliven her holy affections. We should be mor delivered from errors in judgment and practice, did we more full ponder these things in our hearts. It is still proclaimed in our ear that to us is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord. These should be gla tidings to all.
