Luke 2:9

¹“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!

¹⁸But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

²³For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

¹¹so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.

¹After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

⁶“As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky. ⁷I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ ⁸I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’

⁹“Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.

¹¹The LORD’s angel came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. ¹²The LORD’s angel appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”

⁴While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

¹³at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me. ¹⁴When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

²⁰But when he thought about these things, behold,^[+] an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
