1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 And Herod the king having heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And having gathered together all the chief priests and scholars of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For thus it is written through the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of thee will come forth a man who rules, who will tend my people Israel.
7 Then Herod having called the wise men privately, ascertained from them what time the star appeared.
8 And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, After going, search diligently about the child. And when ye find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him.
9 And when they heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 And having come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down, they worshiped him. And having opened their treasures, they brought to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
1 When Iesus was borne at Bethleem in Iury in the tyme of Herode the kynge. Beholde there came wyse me from the eest to Ierusalem
2 saynge: Where is he yt is borne kynge of ye Iues? We have sene his starre in ye eest and are come to worship him.
3 When Herode ye kynge had herde thys he was troubled and all Ierusalem with hym
4 and he gathered all ye chefe Prestes and Scribes of the people and axed of them where Christ shulde be borne.
5 And they sayde vnto hym: at Bethlee in Iury. For thus it is written by the Prophet.
6 And thou Bethleem in the londe of Iury art not the leest concernynge the Princes of Iuda. For out of the shall come the captayne that shall govern my people Israhel.
7 Then Herod prevely called the wyse men and dyligetly enquyred of them ye tyme of the starre that appered
8 and sent the to Bethleem saynge: Goo and searche dyligetly for ye chylde. And when ye have founde hym bringe me worde yt I maye come and worshippe hym also.
9 When they had heard the kynge they departed: and lo the starre which they sawe in ye eeste went before them tyll it came and stode over the place where the chylde was.
10 When they sawe the starre they were marvelously glad:
11 and went into the house and found the chylde with Mary hys mother and kneled doune and worshipped hym and opened their treasures and offred vnto hym gyftes gold frackynsence and myrre.
12 And after they were warned of God in a dreame that they shuld not go ageyne to Herod they retourned into their awne countre another waye.
