15b  Pastores loquebantur ad invicem: transeamus usque Betlehem, et videamus hoc verbum quod factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nobis. Alleluia [or Noe].

16  Et venerunt festinantes et invenerunt Mariam et Joseph et infantem positum in praesepio.

17  Videntes autem notum fecerunt verbum, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc. {{Verse|18} Et omnes, qui audierunt, mirati sunt de his, quae dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos.

19  Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec conferens in corde suo.

20  Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum. Alleluia [or Noe].
