3 Upon hearing this, Herod the king was alarmed and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And having assembled all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them, where the Christ should be born.
5 And they told him. At Bethlehem of Judea. For thus it is written by the prophet,
6 "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judea art by no means the least among the leaders of Juda; for out of thee shall come a leader, who shall tend my people Israel"
7 Then Herod, having privately called the magians, got exact information from them concerning the time of the star's appearing;
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go and make exact inquiry about the child. And when you have found him bring me word, that I also may go and pay him homage.
9 So in obedience to the king they departed; and lo! the star which they had seen at his rise moved on before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly:
11 and having entered the house they found the child with Mary his mother. Whereupon, prostrating themselves, they did him homage. Then opening their treasures they presented him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went to their own country by another way.
13 And when they were gone, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there till I order thee; for Herod will seek the child to destroy him.
14 Accordingly he arose and took the child and his mother by night and went to Egypt,
15 where he continued till the death of Herod, so that there was a fulfilment of what the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."
16 When Herod saw that he was treated with contempt by the magians, he was highly incensed, and he sent and slew all the male children in Bethlehem and all the territory belonging thereto, from those who had entered the second year and under, according to the time, of which he had. got exact information from the magians.
