jub - Matthew:2:1-12

jub@Matthew:2:1 @ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

jub@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him.

jub@Matthew:2:3 @ When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him.

jub@Matthew:2:4 @ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Christ should be born.

jub@Matthew:2:5 @ And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by the prophet,

jub@Matthew:2:6 @ And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee shall come a Leader that shall shepherd my people Israel.

jub@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod, calling the wise men unto him secretly, understood of them [with diligence] the time of the appearing of the star;

jub@Matthew:2:8 @ and sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go there and search [diligently] for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word again that I may come and worship him [also].

jub@Matthew:2:9 @ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it arrived and stood over where the young child was.

jub@Matthew:2:10 @ Seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

jub@Matthew:2:11 @ And entering into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they worshipped him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh.

jub@Matthew:2:12 @ And being warned by divine revelation in dreams that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
