2Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,G1161G2424G1080G1722G965G2449G1722G2250G2264G935G2400G3854G3097G575G395G1519G24142saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."G3004G4226G2076G5088G935G2453G1063G1492G846G792G1722G395G2532G2064G4352G8463When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.G1161G2264G935G191G5015G2532G3956G2414G3326G8464And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.G2532G4863G3956G749G2532G1122G2992G4863G4441G3844G846G4226G5547G10805So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:G1161G2036G846G1722G965G2449G1063G3779G1125G1223G43966'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.'"G2532G4771G965G1093G2448G1488G3760G1646G1722G2232G2448G1063G1537G4675G1831G2233G3748G4165G3450G2992G24747Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.G5119G2264G2977G2564G3097G198G3844G846G198G5550G792G53168And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."G2532G3992G846G1519G965G2036G4198G1833G199G4012G3813G1161G1875G2147G518G3427G518G3704G2064G4352G846G25049When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.G1161G191G935G4198G2532G2400G792G3739G1492G1722G395G4254G846G2193G2064G2476G1883G3757G3813G225810When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.G1161G1492G792G5463G4970G3173G547911And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.G2532G2064G1519G3614G2147G1492G3813G3326G3137G846G3384G2532G4098G4352G846G2532G455G846G2344G4374G846G1435G5557G2532G3030G2532G466612Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.G2532G5537G2596G3677G344G3361G344G4314G2264G402G1519G846G5561G1223G243G359813Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."G1161G846G402G2400G32G2962G5316G2501G2596G3677G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G5343G1519G125G2532G2468G1563G2193G302G2036G4671G2036G1063G2264G3195G2212G3813G622G84614When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt,G1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G3571G2532G402G1519G12515and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."G2532G2258G1563G2193G5054G2264G2443G4137G3588G4483G5259G2962G1223G4396G3004G1537G125G2564G3450G520716Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.G5119G2264G1492G3754G1702G5259G3097G3029G2373G2532G649G337G3956G3816G1722G965G2532G1722G3956G3725G846G575G1332G2532G2736G2596G5550G3739G198G3844G309717Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:G5119G4137G3588G4483G5259G2408G4396G300418"A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted, Because they are no more."G1722G4471G191G5456G191G2355G2532G2805G2532G4183G3602G4478G2799G846G5043G2532G2309G3756G3870G3754G1526G375619But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,G1161G2264G5053G2400G32G2962G5316G2596G3677G2501G1722G12520saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child's life are dead."G3004G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G4198G1519G1093G2474G1063G2348G3588G2212G3813G559021Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.G1161G1453G3880G3813G2532G846G3384G2532G2064G1519G1093G247422But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee.G1161G191G3754G745G936G1909G2449G473G846G3962G2264G5399G565G1563G1161G5537G2596G3677G402G1519G3313G105623And 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."G2532G2064G2730G1519G4172G3004G3478G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G4396G3754G2564G3480
