Bible. Matthew
40:001:022 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
40:001:023 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.
40:001:024 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
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:
