1 Jesuswas born in the town of Bethlehemin Judea, during the time when Herodwas king. Soon afterward, some men who studied the stars came from the Eastto Jerusalem2 and asked, "Where is the baby born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star when it came up in the east, and we have come to worship him."
3 When King Herodheard about this, he was very upset, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. 4 He called together all the chief priests and the teachers of the Law and asked them, "Where will the Messiah be born?"
5 "In the town of Bethlehemin Judea," they answered. "For this is what the prophet wrote:
6 Mic 5.2‘Bethlehemin the land of Judah,
you are by no means the least of the leading cities of Judah;
for from you will come a leader
who will guide my people Israel.’"
7 So Herodcalled the visitors from the East to a secret meeting and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 Then he sent them to Bethlehemwith these instructions: "Go and make a careful search for the child; and when you find him, let me know, so that I too may go and worship him."
9,10 And so they left, and on their way they saw the same star they had seen in the East. When they saw it, how happy they were, what joy was theirs! It went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 11 They went into the house, and when they saw the child with his mother Mary, they knelt down and worshiped him. They brought out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and presented them to him.
12 Then they returned to their country by another road, since God had warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod.
The Escape to Egypt
13 After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Josephand said, "Herodwill be looking for the child in order to kill him. So get up, take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you to leave."
14 Josephgot up, took the child and his mother, and left during the night for Egypt, 15 Ho 11.1where he stayed until Heroddied. This was done to make come true what the Lord had said through the prophet, "I called my Son out of Egypt."
The Killing of the Children
16 When Herodrealized that the visitors from the East had tricked him, he was furious. He gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehemand its neighborhood who were two years old and younger—this was done in accordance with what he had learned from the visitors about the time when the star had appeared.
17 In this way what the prophet Jeremiahhad said came true:
18 Jr 31.15"A sound is heard in Ramah,
the sound of bitter weeping.
Rachelis crying for her children;
she refuses to be comforted,
for they are dead."
The Return from Egypt
19 After Heroddied, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Josephin Egypt20 and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and go back to the land of Israel, because those who tried to kill the child are dead." 21 So Josephgot up, took the child and his mother, and went back to Israel.
22 But when Joseph heard that Archelaushad succeeded his father Herodas king of Judea, he was afraid to go there. He was given more instructions in a dream, so he went to the province of Galilee23 Mk 1.24;Lk 2.39;Jn 1.45and made his home in a town named Nazareth. And so what the prophets had said came true: "He will be called a Nazarene."
