1 When Jesuswas born in the village of Bethlehemin Judea, Herodwas king. During this time some wise men2.1 wise men: People famous for studying the stars.from the east came to Jerusalem2 and said, "Where is the child born to be king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east2.2 his star in the east: Or "his star rise."and have come to worship him."
3 When King Herodheard about this, he was worried, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. 4 Herod brought together the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses and asked them, "Where will the Messiah be born?"
5 They told him, "He will be born in Bethlehem, just as the prophet wrote,
6 Mic 5.2.‘Bethlehemin the land
of Judea,
you are very important
among the towns of Judea.
From your town
will come a leader,
who will be like a shepherd
for my people Israel.’ "
7 Herodsecretly called in the wise men and asked them when they had first seen the star. 8 He told them, "Go to Bethlehemand search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, let me know. I also want to go and worship him."
9 The wise men listened to what the king said and then left. And the star they had seen in the east went on ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 They were thrilled and excited to see the star.
11 When the men went into the house and saw the child with Mary, his mother, they knelt down and worshiped him. They took out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh2.11 frankincense, and myrrh: Frankincense was a valuable powder that was burned to make a sweet smell. Myrrh was a valuable sweet-smelling powder often used in perfume.and gave them to him. 12 Later they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and they went back home by another road.
The Escape to Egypt
13 After the wise men had gone, an angel from the Lord appeared to Josephin a dream and said, "Get up! Hurry and take the child and his mother to Egypt! Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herodis looking for the child and wants to kill him."
14 That night, Josephgot up and took his wife and the child to Egypt, 15 Ho 11.1.where they stayed until Heroddied. So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet had said, "I called my son out of Egypt."
The Killing of the Children
16 When Herodfound out that the wise men from the east had tricked him, he was very angry. He gave orders for his men to kill all the boys who lived in or near Bethlehemand were two years old and younger. This was based on what he had learned from the wise men.
17 So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet Jeremiahhad said,
18 Jr 31.15."In Ramaha voice was heard
crying and weeping loudly.
Rachelwas mourning
for her children,
and she refused
to be comforted,
because they were dead."
The Return from Egypt
19 After King Heroddied, an angel from the Lord appeared in a dream to Josephwhile he was still in Egypt. 20 The angel said, "Get up and take the child and his mother back to Israel. The people who wanted to kill him are now dead."
21 Josephgot up and left with them for Israel. 22 But when he heard that Herod’s son Archelauswas now ruler of Judea, he was afraid to go there. Then in a dream he was told to go to Galilee, 23 Mk 1.24;Lk 2.39;Jn 1.45.and they went to live there in the town of Nazareth. So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet had said, "He will be called a Nazarene."2.23 He will be called a Nazarene: The prophet who said this is not known.
