Matthew(i)
3 When Herode the kinge had herde this, he was troubled, and al Ierusalem with him,
4 and he gathered al the chiefe priestes and scribes of the people, & axed of them where Christe shoulde be borne.
5 And they sayd vnto hym: at Bethleem in Iury. For thus it is wrytten by the prophete.
6 And thou Bethleem in the land of Iury, art not the least concerning the Princes of Iuda. For out of the shal come the captaine, that shall gouerne my people Israel.
7 Then Herode preuily called the wyse men, and diligently enquired of them, the tyme of the starre that apeared,
8 and sent them to Bethleem sayinge: Go and searche diligentlye for the childe. And when ye haue founde hym, bringe me worde, that I may come and worshyppe him also.
9 When they hearde the kynge, they departed: and lo the starre which they sawe in the east went before them, tyll it came and stode ouer the place wher the childe was.
10 When they sawe the starre, they were maruelously glad:
11 and went into the house, and found the chylde with Mary his mother, and kneled doune & worshypped him, and opened their treasures and offred to him giftes golde, frankinsence and myrre.
12 And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go agayne to Herode, they retourned into their owne countre another waye.
13 When they were departed: Beholde the aungell of the Lorde appeared to Ioseph in a dreame sayinge. Aryse, and take the chylde & his mother, and flee into Egipte, and abyde there tyll I bringe the worde. For Herode wil seke the chylde to destroye him.
