1 Jesuswas born in Bethlehemin Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men2:1 Or royal astrologers; Greek reads magi; also in 2:7, 16.from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose,2:2 Or star in the east.and we have come to worship him."
3 King Herodwas deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem. 4 He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, "Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?"
5 "In Bethlehemin Judea," they said, "for this is what the prophet wrote:
6 ‘And you, O Bethlehemin the land of Judah,
are not least among the ruling cities2:6a Greek the rulers.of Judah,
for a ruler will come from you
who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’2:6b Mic 5:2; 2 Sam 5:2."
7 Then Herodcalled for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. 8 Then he told them, "Go to Bethlehemand search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!"
9 After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! 11 They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 When it was time to leave, they returned to their own country by another route, for God had warned them in a dream not to return to Herod.
The Escape to Egypt
13 After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Josephin a dream. "Get up! Flee to Egyptwith the child and his mother," the angel said. "Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herodis going to search for the child to kill him."
14 That night Josephleft for Egyptwith the child and Mary, his mother, 15 and they stayed there until Herod’s death. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: "I called my Son out of Egypt."2:15 Hos 11:1.
16 Herodwas furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehemwho were two years old and under, based on the wise men’s report of the star’s first appearance. 17 Herod’s brutal action fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:
18 "A cry was heard in Ramah—
weeping and great mourning.
Rachelweeps for her children,
refusing to be comforted,
for they are dead."2:18 Jer 31:15.
The Return to Nazareth
19 When Heroddied, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Josephin Egypt. 20 "Get up!" the angel said. "Take the child and his mother back to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead."
21 So Josephgot up and returned to the land of Israel with Jesus and his mother. 22 But when he learned that the new ruler of Judeawas Herod’s son Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee. 23 So the family went and lived in a town called Nazareth. This fulfilled what the prophets had said: "He will be called a Nazarene."
