Mateus 2

1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, "Where is He who was born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and we came to worship Him." 3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him, 4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born. 5 And they said to him, "In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: 6 And you, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of you will come One leading, who will feed My people Israel." 7 Then Herod, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star, 8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, "Having gone—inquire exactly for the Child, and whenever you may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may worship Him." 9 And they, having heard the king, departed, and behold, the star, that they saw in the east, went before them, until, having come, it stood over where the Child was. 10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy, 11 and having come into the house, they found the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, 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, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
