for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
001:021 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus,
for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."
001:022 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
001:023 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son.
They shall call his name Immanuel;" which is, being interpreted,
"God with us."{Isaiah 7:14}
001:024 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord
commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
001:025 and didn't know her sexually until she had brought forth her
firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
002:001 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days
of Herod the king, behold, wise men{The word for "wise men"
(magoi) can also mean teachers, scientists, physicians,
astrologers, seers, interpreters of dreams, or sorcerers.}
from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
002:002 "Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star
in the east, and have come to worship him."
002:003 When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him.
002:004 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people,
he asked them where the Christ would be born.
002:005 They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written
through the prophet,
002:006 'You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among
the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come forth a governor,
who shall shepherd my people, Israel.'"{Micah 5:2}
002:007 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them
exactly what time the star appeared.
002:008 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently
for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word,
so that I also may come and worship him."
002:009 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them,
until it came and stood over where the young child was.
002:010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
002:011 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary,
his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.
Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts:
gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
002:012 Being warned in a dream that they shouldn't return to Herod,
they went back to their own country another way.
002:013 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared
to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child
and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I
