These were the social outcasts.

That's what makes this next account in the Gospels so special.
8
News of Jesus' birth came at night to this field, or one very near here.
9
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
10
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
