2After Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in JerusalemG1161G2424G1080G1722G965G2449G1722G2250G2264G935G2400G3854G3097G575G395G1519G2414 2and asked, "Where is the one who was born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."G3004G4226G2076G5088G935G2453G1063G1492G846G792G1722G395G2532G2064G4352G846 3When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, as was all of Jerusalem.G1161G2264G935G191G5015G2532G3956G2414G3326G846 4He called together all the high priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Messiah was to be born.G2532G4863G3956G749G2532G1122G2992G4863G4441G3844G846G4226G5547G1080 5They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, because that is what was written by the prophet:G1161G2036G846G1722G965G2449G1063G3779G1125G1223G4396 6'O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, you are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, because from you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'"G2532G4771G965G1093G2448G1488G3760G1646G1722G2232G2448G1063G1537G4675G1831G2233G3748G4165G3450G2992G2474 7Then Herod secretly called together the wise men, found out from them the time the star had appeared,G5119G2264G2977G2564G3097G198G3844G846G198G5550G792G5316 8and sent them to Bethlehem. He told them, "As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him."G2532G3992G846G1519G965G2036G4198G1833G199G4012G3813G1161G1875G2147G518G3427G518G3704G2064G4352G846G2504 9After listening to the king, they set out, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.G1161G191G935G4198G2532G2400G792G3739G1492G1722G395G4254G846G2193G2064G2476G1883G3757G3813G2258 10When they saw the star, they were ecstatic with joy.G1161G1492G792G5463G4970G3173G5479 11After they went into the house and saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure sacks and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.G2532G2064G1519G3614G2147G1492G3813G3326G3137G846G3384G2532G4098G4352G846G2532G455G846G2344G4374G846G1435G5557G2532G3030G2532G4666 12Having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they left for their own country by a different road.G2532G5537G2596G3677G344G3361G344G4314G2264G402G1519G846G5561G1223G243G3598 13After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt," he said. "Stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and kill him."G1161G846G402G2400G32G2962G5316G2501G2596G3677G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G5343G1519G125G2532G2468G1563G2193G302G2036G4671G2036G1063G2264G3195G2212G3813G622G846 14So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and left at night for Egypt.G1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G3571G2532G402G1519G125 15He stayed there until Herod's death in order to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, "Out of Egypt I called my Son."G2532G2258G1563G2193G5054G2264G2443G4137G3588G4483G5259G2962G1223G4396G3004G1537G125G2564G3450G5207 16Herod flew into a rage when he learned that he had been tricked by the wise men, so he ordered the execution of all the male children in Bethlehem and all its neighboring regions, who were two years old and younger, according to the time that he had determined from the wise men.G5119G2264G1492G3754G1702G5259G3097G3029G2373G2532G649G337G3956G3816G1722G965G2532G1722G3956G3725G846G575G1332G2532G2736G2596G5550G3739G198G3844G3097 17Then what was declared by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said,216G5119G4137G3588G4483G5259G2408G4396G3004 18"A voice was heard in Ramah: wailing and great mourning. Rachel was crying for her children. She refused to be comforted, because they no longer existed."G1722G4471G191G5456G191G2355G2532G2805G2532G4183G3602G4478G2799G846G5043G2532G2309G3756G3870G3754G1526G3756 19But after Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.G1161G2264G5053G2400G32G2962G5316G2596G3677G2501G1722G125 20"Get up," he said. "Take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead."G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G4198G1519G1093G2474G1063G2348G3588G2212G3813G5590 21So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went into 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. After having been warned in a dream, he left for the region of GalileeG1161G191G3754G745G936G1909G2449G473G846G3962G2264G5399G565G1563G1161G5537G2596G3677G402G1519G3313G1056 23and came and settled in a town called Nazareth in order to fulfill what was said by the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."G2532G2064G2730G1519G4172G3004G3478G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G4396G3754G2564G3480
