AV Translation:

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

1901 ASV Translation:

15 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

Textual Issues:

There are two variations between the Textus Receptus and the Nestle/Aland 26 in 2:15. The first is that the Textus Receptus contains an added phrase "and the men" before the words "the shepherds". It is noticeably not translated by the translators of the AV even though the text they used contained it. The second variation is that the Textus Receptus used a word for "said" in the phrase "said one to another" that signals an emphasis upon the content of what they said; while the Nestle/Aland 26 used a word that only signaled the fact that they spoke to each other.
