Luke Chapter 2, Verse 17
From BibleWiki
17: ιδοντες δε διεγνωρισαν περι του ρηματος του λαληθεντος αυτοις περι του παιδιου τουτου
17: And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.
17: And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to
them concerning this child.
When they had seen it. When they had satisfied themselves of the truth
of the coming of the Messiah, and had ascertained that they could not
have been mistaken in the appearance of the angels. There was evidence
enough to satisfy them that what the angels said was true, or they
would not have gone to Bethlehem. Having seen the child themselves,
they had now evidence that would satisfy others; and accordingly they
became the first preachers of the gospel, and went and proclaimed
to others that the Messiah had come.
