Matthew 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,
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, inquired 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
inquired 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.
