Luke 2:11

For today [this very night] a Savior (Deliverer) has been born to you in the city of David [Bethlehem, see verse 4], who is the Anointed One (­Messiah, Christ), the Lord.
[Savior (Gk. Soter) comes from the verb sozo which describes one who saves, heals and delivers. The title is used for the first time in Luke 1:47, referring to the Lord. It describes how Jesus has qualities that belong only to God.]
