Bible. Matthew
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.
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.
