Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 2:15

_ _ Let us go, etc. — lovely simplicity of devoutness and faith this! They are not taken up with the angels, the glory that invested them, and the lofty strains with which they filled the air. Nor do they say, Let us go and see if this be true — they have no misgivings. But “Let us go and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” Does not this confirm the view given on Luke 2:8 of the spirit of these humble men?
