MT-2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
MT-2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for
we have seen his
star in the east, and are come to worship him.
MT-2:3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was
troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him.
MT-2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and
scribes of the
people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
MT-2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus
it is written
by the prophet,
MT-2:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the
least among the
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that
shall rule my
people Israel.
MT-2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
inquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared.
MT-2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for
the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word
again, that I may
come and worship him also.
MT-2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which
they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood
over where the
young child was.
MT-2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.
MT-2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the
young child with
Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when
they had opened
their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and
myrrh.
MT-2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not
return to
Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
MT-2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeareth
to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child
and his mother,
and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will
seek the young child to destroy him.
MT-2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother
by night, and
departed into Egypt:
MT-2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might
be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of
Egypt have I called
my son.
MT-2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise
men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that
were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and
under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the
wise men.
MT-2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet,
saying,
MT-2:18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and
weeping, and great
mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be
comforted,
because they are not.
MT-2:19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeareth in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt,
MT-2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother,
and go into
the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young
child's life.
MT-2:21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother,
and came into
the land of Israel.
MT-2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in
the room of
his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding,
being warned of
God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
MT-2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that
it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a
Nazarene.
