2In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,G1161G2424G1080G1722G965G2449G1722G2250G2264G935G2400G3854G3097G575G395G1519G2414 2asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage."G3004G4226G2076G5088G935G2453G1063G1492G846G792G1722G395G2532G2064G4352G846 3When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him;G1161G2264G935G191G5015G2532G3956G2414G3326G846 4and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.G2532G4863G3956G749G2532G1122G2992G4863G4441G3844G846G4226G5547G1080 5They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet:G1161G2036G846G1722G965G2449G1063G3779G1125G1223G4396 6'And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.'"G2532G4771G965G1093G2448G1488G3760G1646G1722G2232G2448G1063G1537G4675G1831G2233G3748G4165G3450G2992G2474 7Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared.G5119G2264G2977G2564G3097G198G3844G846G198G5550G792G5316 8Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage."G2532G3992G846G1519G965G2036G4198G1833G199G4012G3813G1161G1875G2147G518G3427G518G3704G2064G4352G846G2504 9When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was.G1161G191G935G4198G2532G2400G792G3739G1492G1722G395G4254G846G2193G2064G2476G1883G3757G3813G2258 10When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy.G1161G1492G792G5463G4970G3173G5479 11On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.G2532G2064G1519G3614G2147G1492G3813G3326G3137G846G3384G2532G4098G4352G846G2532G455G846G2344G4374G846G1435G5557G2532G3030G2532G4666 12And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road.G2532G5537G2596G3677G344G3361G344G4314G2264G402G1519G846G5561G1223G243G3598 13Now after they had left, 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 about to search for the child, to destroy him."G1161G846G402G2400G32G2962G5316G2501G2596G3677G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G5343G1519G125G2532G2468G1563G2193G302G2036G4671G2036G1063G2264G3195G2212G3813G622G846 14Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt,G1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G3571G2532G402G1519G125 15and 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 have called my son."G2532G2258G1563G2193G5054G2264G2443G4137G3588G4483G5259G2962G1223G4396G3004G1537G125G2564G3450G5207 16When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men.G5119G2264G1492G3754G1702G5259G3097G3029G2373G2532G649G337G3956G3816G1722G965G2532G1722G3956G3725G846G575G1332G2532G2736G2596G5550G3739G198G3844G3097 17Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:G5119G4137G3588G4483G5259G2408G4396G3004 18"A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they are no more."G1722G4471G191G5456G191G2355G2532G2805G2532G4183G3602G4478G2799G846G5043G2532G2309G3756G3870G3754G1526G3756 19When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said,G1161G2264G5053G2400G32G2962G5316G2596G3677G2501G1722G125 20"Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead."G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G4198G1519G1093G2474G1063G2348G3588G2212G3813G5590 21Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.G1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G2064G1519G1093G2474 22But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee.G1161G191G3754G745G936G1909G2449G473G846G3962G2264G5399G565G1563G1161G5537G2596G3677G402G1519G3313G1056 23There he made his home in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazorean."G2532G2064G2730G1519G4172G3004G3478G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G4396G3754G2564G3480
