Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Lying in a manger. This was to be the sign. On that night there would, perhaps, be no other children born in the Bethlehem village; certainly the shepherds would find no other newly born infant cradled in a manger.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) This shall be a sign unto you.--The sign was not such in itself, but became so by its agreement with the prediction. It was something exceptional that a new-born infant should be found, not in a cradle, but in a manger; still stranger that that infant babe should be the heir of the House of David.
