40:001:025 And knew her not till she had brought forth
her firstborn son:
and
he called his name Jesus.
40:002:001 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,
40:002:002 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.
40:002:003 When Herod the king had heard these things,
he was troubled,
and
all Jerusalem with him.
40:002:004 And when he had gathered all the chief
priests and scribes of
the
people together, he demanded of them where Christ should
be
born.
40:002:005 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of
Judaea: for thus it is
written
by the prophet,
40:002:006 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.
40:002:007 Then Herod, when he had privily called
the wise men, enquired
of
them diligently what time the star appeared.
40:002:008 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.
40:002:009 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.
40:002:010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with
exceeding great
joy.
40:002:011 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.
40:002:012 And being warned of God in a dream that
they should not return
to
Herod, they departed into their own country another
way.
40:002:013 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.
40:002:014 When he arose, he took the young child
and his mother by
night,
and departed into Egypt:
40:002:015 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.
