“And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.”
When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child — the shepherds immediately become witnesses and proclaimers: they spread the word (diegnorisante, made known, spread abroad) about what they had heard. The chain of testimony — angel to shepherds to community — is the Gospel's first missionary movement. The shepherds who are among the least prestigious members of the community become the first evangelists of the incarnation.
