Matthew 2

2:1And Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east came unto Jerusalem,

2:2saying, Where is the one having been born king of the Jews? For we beheld his star in the east, and we came to do obeisance to him.

2:3And hearing, Herod the king was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

2:4And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born.

2:5And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it has been written by the prophet,

2:6And you, Bethlehem, land of Judea, are not at all least in the governs of Judea. For from out of you shall come forth one leading, who shall tend my people Israel.

2:7Then Herod, in private having called the magi, exacted from them the time of the star appearing.

2:8And having sent them unto Bethlehem, he said, Having gone, exactly inquire concerning the child! And when you should have found, report to me, so that I also having come should do obeisance to him.

2:9And they, having heard the king, went. And behold, the star which they beheld in the east led before them, until having come it stood above of which place the child was.

2:10And beholding the star, they rejoiced a great joy, exceedingly.

2:11And having come unto the residence, they saw the child with Mary his mother. And having fallen, they did obeisance to him. And having opened their treasuries, they offered to him gifts -- gold and frankincense and myrrh.

2:12And having received a divine message by dream, to not return to Herod, they withdrew by another way unto their place.

2:13And of their withdrawing, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared by dream to Joseph, saying, Having arisen, take to yourself the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt! and be there until whenever I should speak to you! For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy it.

2:14And having arisen, he took to himself the child and his mother by night, and he withdrew into Egypt.

2:15And he was there until the decease of Herod, that should be fulfilled the thing having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, From out of Egypt I called my son.

2:16Then Herod, knowing that he was mocked by the magi, was enraged exceedingly. And having sent, he did away with all the boys, the ones in Bethlehem, and in all the borders of it, from two years old and below, according to the time which was exacted from the magi.

2:17Then was fulfilled the thing having been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

2:18A voice in Rama was heard, wailing and weeping, and much grieving, Rachel weeping over her children, and she wanted not to be comforted, for they are not.

2:19And Herod having come to an end, behold, an angel of the Lord by dream appears to Joseph in Egypt,

2:20saying, Having arisen, take to yourself the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel! for the ones seeking the life of the child have died!

2:21And having arisen, he took to himself the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

2:22And having heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea instead of Herod his father, he feared to go forth there. And having received a divine message by dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee.

2:23And having come, he dwelt in a city being called Nazareth; so that should be fulfilled the thing having been spoken through the prophets, saying, For he shall be called a Nazarene.
