Matthew:2:1-12
bbe@Matthew:2:1 @Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
bbe@Matthew:2:2 @Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.
bbe@Matthew:2:3 @And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
bbe@Matthew:2:4 @And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.
bbe@Matthew:2:5 @And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,
bbe@Matthew:2:6 @You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.
bbe@Matthew:2:7 @Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.
bbe@Matthew:2:8 @And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.
bbe@Matthew:2:9 @And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.
bbe@Matthew:2:10 @And when they saw the star they were full of joy.
bbe@Matthew:2:11 @And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.
bbe@Matthew:2:12 @And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way.
