In the cultural context of first-century Judea, news was often spread orally, and gatherings in communal spaces like the marketplace or synagogue would facilitate such dissemination. The shepherds, considered lowly and humble, were unlikely messengers, which adds to the amazement of the listeners. This reflects the biblical theme of God using the humble to convey His message, as seen in <a href="/1_corinthians/1-27.htm">1 Corinthians 1:27</a>.were amazed The amazement of the people can be understood as a mix of wonder and disbelief. In the biblical narrative, amazement often accompanies divine revelation or miraculous events, such as the reaction of the people to Jesus' teachings and miracles (<a href="/mark/1-22.htm">Mark 1:22</a>, <a href="/luke/4-32.htm">Luke 4:32</a>). This amazement signifies the breaking in of the divine into the ordinary, challenging the listeners' expectations and understanding of God's work.at what the shepherds said to them The shepherds relayed the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth, which was a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah (<a href="/isaiah/7-14.htm">Isaiah 7:14</a>, <a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>). The shepherds' testimony is significant because it aligns with the biblical theme of witness, where God often uses unexpected individuals to bear witness to His acts (e.g., the Samaritan woman in <a href="/john/4.htm">John 4</a>). The shepherds' role also prefigures the spread of the Gospel, where ordinary believers are called to share the good news of Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/shepherds.htm">Shepherds</a> These humble individuals were the first to receive the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth.
