lont - Matthew:2:1-12

lont@Matthew:2:1 @ After the birth of Jesus, at Bethlehem of Judea, in the reign of King Herod, certain eastern magicians came to Jerusalem, and inquired,

lont@Matthew:2:2 @ Where is the new-born King of the Jews; for we have seen his star in the east country, and are coming to do him homage?

lont@Matthew:2:3 @ King Herod hearing this, was alarmed, and all Jerusalem with him.

lont@Matthew:2:4 @ And having assembled all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he demanded of them where the Messiah should be born.

lont@Matthew:2:5 @ They answered, at Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the Prophet,

lont@Matthew:2:6 @ «And thou Bethlehem, in the canton of Judah, are not the least illustrious among the cities of Judah; for out of thee shall come a ruler, who will govern my people Israel.»

lont@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod having secretly called the magicians, procured from them exact information concerning the time of the star's appearing.

lont@Matthew:2:8 @ And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go, make an exact inquiry about the child; and when you have found him bring me word, that I may go also, and pay him homage.

lont@Matthew:2:9 @ Having heard the King, they departed; and lo! the star which had appeared to them in the east country, moved before them, till it came, and stood over the place, where the child was.

lont@Matthew:2:10 @ When they again saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly.

lont@Matthew:2:11 @ And being come into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother; and, prostrating themselves, did him homage. Then opening their caskets, they offered, as presents to him, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

lont@Matthew:2:12 @ And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went home another way.
