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
,
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.
3
When
Herod
the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem
with him.
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.
5
And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem
of
Judaea
: for thus it is written by the prophet,
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
.
7
Then
Herod
, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
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.
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.
10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
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.
12
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to
Herod
, they departed into their own country another way.
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.
14
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into
Egypt
:
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.
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 enquired of the wise men.
17
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
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.
19
But when
Herod
was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to
Joseph
in
Egypt
,
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.
21
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of
Israel
.
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
:
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.
