40:002:016 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 enquired of the wise men.

40:002:017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
           prophet, saying,

40:002:018 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.

40:002:019 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
           appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

40:002:020 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.

40:002:021 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
           came into the land of Israel.

40:002:022 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: 

40:002:023 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.

40:003:001 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
           wilderness of Judaea,

40:003:002 And saying, Repent ye:  for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

40:003:003 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
           saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
           the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

40:003:004 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a
           leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and
           wild honey.

40:003:005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
           region round about Jordan,

40:003:006 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

40:003:007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
           his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who
           hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

40:003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 

40:003:009 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our
           father:  for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones
           to raise up children unto Abraham.

40:003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: 
           therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
           hewn down, and cast into the fire.
