Luke 2:10

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Ver. 10. I bring you good tidings ] The first preacher of the gospel was an angel. God hath now taken this honour from the angels, and put it upon the ministers, who are in Scripture called angels,Revelation 2:1; Revelation 2:1 , and angels ministers,Hebrews 1:14; Hebrews 1:14 . The old church had επαγγελιαν , the promise, we have ευαγγελιαν , the joyful tidings.
