Matthew 2:3-13

Worrell(i) 3 And the king Herod, hearing it, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and having assembled all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them, "Where the Christ should be born," 5 And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judaea;" for thus it has been written through the prophet: 6 "And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the governors of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a Governor, who shall be shepherd of My people Israel." 7 Then Herod, having privately called the wise men, ascertained from them exactly the time the star appeared; 8 and, sending them to Bethlehem, he said, "Having gone, inquire ye exactly concerning the Child; and, when ye find Him, bring me word, that I, too, having come, may worship Him." 9 And they, having heard the king, departed; and, behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till, having come, it stood over where the Child was. 10 And, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And, coming into the house, they saw the Child with Mary, His mother; and, falling down, they paid Him homage; and, having opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And, having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed by another way into their own country. 13 And, they having departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to you; for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him."
