Now
after Jesus
was born
in Bethlehem
of Judea
in the days
of Herod
the king,
magi
from the east
arrived
in Jerusalem,
saying,
2
"Where
is He who has been born
King
of the Jews?
For we saw
His star
in the east
and have come
to worship
Him."
3
When Herod
the king
heard
this, he was troubled,
and all
Jerusalem
with him.
4
Gathering together
all
the chief priests
and scribes
of the people,
he inquired
of them where
the Messiah
was to be born.
5
They said
to him, "In Bethlehem
of Judea;
for this
is what
has been written
by the prophet:
6
'
AND YOU, BETHLEHEM,
LAND
OF JUDAH,
ARE BY NO MEANS
LEAST
AMONG
THE LEADERS
OF JUDAH;
FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH
A RULER
WHO
WILL SHEPHERD
MY PEOPLE
ISRAEL.'"
7
Then
Herod
secretly
called
the magi
and determined
from them the exact time
the star
appeared.
8
And he sent
them to Bethlehem
and said,
"Go
and search
carefully
for the Child;
and when
you have found
Him, report
to me, so
that I too
may come
and worship
Him."
9
After
hearing
the king,
they went their way;
and the star,
which
they had seen
in the east,
went on before
them until
it came
and stood
over
the place where
the Child
was.
10
When they saw
the star,
they rejoiced
exceedingly
with great
joy.
11
After
coming
into the house
they saw
the Child
with Mary
His mother;
and they fell
to the ground and worshiped
Him. Then,
opening
their treasures,
they presented
to Him gifts
of gold,
frankincense,
and myrrh.
12
And having been warned
by God in a dream
not to return
to Herod,
the magi left
for their own country
by another
way.
13
Now
when they had gone,
behold,
an angel
of the Lord
appeared
to Joseph
in a dream
and said,
"Get
up! Take
the Child
and His mother
and flee
to Egypt,
and remain
there
until
I tell
you; for Herod
is going
to search
for
the Child
to destroy
Him."
14
So
Joseph got
up and took
the Child
and His mother
while it was still night,
and left
for Egypt.
15
He remained
there
until
the death
of Herod.
This was to fulfill
what
had been spoken
by the Lord
through
the prophet:
"OUT OF EGYPT
I CALLED
MY SON."
16
Then
when Herod
saw
that he had been tricked
by the magi,
he became very
enraged,
and sent
and slew
all
the male children
who were in Bethlehem
and
all
its vicinity,
from two years old
and under,
according
to the time
which
he had determined
from the magi.
17
Then
what
had been spoken
through
Jeremiah
the prophet
was fulfilled:
18
"A VOICE
WAS HEARD
IN RAMAH,
WEEPING
AND GREAT
MOURNING,
RACHEL
WEEPING
FOR HER CHILDREN;
AND SHE REFUSED
TO BE COMFORTED,
BECAUSE
THEY WERE NO
MORE."
19
But when Herod
died,
behold,
an angel
of the Lord
appeared
in a dream
to Joseph
in Egypt,
and said,
20
"Get
up, take
the Child
and His mother,
and go
into the land
of Israel;
for those
who sought
the Child
's
life
are dead."
21
So
Joseph got
up, took
the Child
and His mother,
and came
into the land
of Israel.
22
But when he heard
that Archelaus
was reigning
over Judea
in place
of his father
Herod,
he was afraid
to go
there.
Then
after being warned
by God in a dream,
he left
for the regions
of Galilee,
23
and came
and lived
in a city
called
Nazareth.
This was to fulfill
what
was spoken
through
the prophets:
"He shall be
called
a Nazarene."
