2:1 Now 1161 when Jesus 2424 was born 1080 5685 in 1722 Bethlehem 965 of Judaea 2449 in 1722 the days 2250 of Herod 2264 the king 935, behold 2400 5628, there came 3854 5633 wise men 3097 from 575 the east 395 to 1519 Jerusalem 2414,

2:2 Saying 3004 5723, Where 4226 is 2076 5748 he that is born 5088 5685 King 935 of the Jews 2453? for 1063 we have seen 1492 5627 his 846 star 792 in 1722 the east 395, and 2532 are come 2064 5627 to worship 4352 5658 him 846.

2:3 When 1161 Herod 2264 the king 935 had heard 191 5660 [these things], he was troubled 5015 5681, and 2532 all 3956 Jerusalem 2414 with 3326 him 846.

2:4 And 2532 when he had gathered 4863 0 all 3956 the chief priests 749 and 2532 scribes 1122 of the people 2992 together 4863 5631, he demanded 4441 5711 of 3844 them 846 where 4226 Christ 5547 should be born 1080 5743.

2:5 And 1161 they said 2036 5627 unto him 846, In 1722 Bethlehem 965 of Judaea 2449: for 1063 thus 3779 it is written 1125 5769 by 1223 the prophet 4396,

2:6 And 2532 thou 4771 Bethlehem 965, [in] the land 1093 of Juda 2448, art 1488 5748 not 3760 the least 1646 among 1722 the princes 2232 of Juda 2448: for 1063 out of 1537 thee 4675 shall come 1831 5695 a Governor 2233 5740, that 3748 shall rule 4165 5692 my 3450 people 2992 Israel 2474.(rule: or, feed)

2:7 Then 5119 Herod 2264, when he had privily 2977 called 2564 5660 the wise men 3097, enquired 198 0 of 3844 them 846 diligently 198 5656 what time 5550 the star 792 appeared 5316 5730.

2:8 And 2532 he sent 3992 5660 them 846 to 1519 Bethlehem 965, and said 2036 5627, Go 4198 5679 and search 1833 5657 diligently 199 for 4012 the young child 3813; and 1161 when 1875 ye have found 2147 5632 [him], bring 518 0 me 3427 word again 518 5657, that 3704 I may come 2064 5631 and worship 4352 5661 him 846 also 2504.

2:9 When 1161 they had heard 191 5660 the king 935, they departed 4198 5675; and 2532, lo 2400 5628, the star 792, which 3739 they saw 1492 5627 in 1722 the east 395, went before 4254 5707 them 846, till 2193 it came 2064 5631 and stood 2476 5627 over 1883 where 3757 the young child 3813 was 2258 5713.

2:10 When 1161 they saw 1492 5631 the star 792, they rejoiced 5463 5644 with exceeding 4970 great 3173 joy 5479.

2:11 And 2532 when they were come 2064 5631 into 1519 the house 3614, they saw 2147 5627 5625 1492 5627 the young child 3813 with 3326 Mary 3137 his 846 mother 3384, and 2532 fell down 4098 5631, and worshipped 4352 5656 him 846: and 2532 when they had opened 455 5660 their 846 treasures 2344, they presented 4374 5656 unto him 846 gifts 1435; gold 5557, and 2532 frankincense 3030, and 2532 myrrh 4666.(presented: or, offered)

2:12 And 2532 being warned of God 5537 5685 in 2596 a dream 3677 that they should 344 0 not 3361 return 344 5658 to 4314 Herod 2264, they departed 402 5656 into 1519 their own 846 country 5561 another 1223 243 way 3598.

2:13 And 1161 when they 846 were departed 402 5660, behold 2400 5628, the angel 32 of the Lord 2962 appeareth 5316 5727 to Joseph 2501 in 2596 a dream 3677, saying 3004 5723, Arise 1453 5685, and take 3880 5628 the young child 3813 and 2532 his 846 mother 3384, and 2532 flee 5343 5720 into 1519 Egypt 125, and 2532 be thou 2468 5749 there 1563 until 2193 I 302 bring 2036 0 thee 4671 word 2036 5632: for 1063 Herod 2264 will 3195 5719 seek 2212 5721 the young child 3813 to destroy 622 5658 him 846.

2:14 When 1161 he arose 1453 5685, he took 3880 5627 the young child 3813 and 2532 his 846 mother 3384 by night 3571, and 2532 departed 402 5656 into 1519 Egypt 125:

2:15 And 2532 was 2258 5713 there 1563 until 2193 the death 5054 of Herod 2264: that 2443 it might be fulfilled 4137 5686 which 3588 was spoken 4483 5685 of 5259 the Lord 2962 by 1223 the prophet 4396, saying 3004 5723, Out of 1537 Egypt 125 have I called 2564 5656 my 3450 son 5207.

2:16 Then 5119 Herod 2264, when he saw 1492 5631 that 3754 he was mocked 1702 5681 of 5259 the wise men 3097, was exceeding 3029 wroth 2373 5681, and 2532 sent forth 649 5660, and slew 337 5627 all 3956 the children 3816 that were in 1722 Bethlehem 965, and 2532 in 1722 all 3956 the coasts 3725 thereof 846, from 575 two years old 1332 and 2532 under 2736, according 2596 to the time 5550 which 3739 he had diligently enquired 198 5656 of 3844 the wise men 3097.

2:17 Then 5119 was fulfilled 4137 5681 that which 3588 was spoken 4483 5685 by 5259 Jeremy 2408 the prophet 4396, saying 3004 5723,

2:18 In 1722 Rama 4471 was there 191 0 a voice 5456 heard 191 5681, lamentation 2355, and 2532 weeping 2805, and 2532 great 4183 mourning 3602, Rachel 4478 weeping 2799 5723 [for] her 846 children 5043, and 2532 would 2309 5707 not 3756 be comforted 3870 5683, because 3754 they are 1526 5748 not 3756.

2:19 But 1161 when Herod 2264 was dead 5053 5660, behold 2400 5628, an angel 32 of the Lord 2962 appeareth 5316 5727 in 2596 a dream 3677 to Joseph 2501 in 1722 Egypt 125,

2:20 Saying 3004 5723, Arise 1453 5685, and take 3880 5628 the young child 3813 and 2532 his 846 mother 3384, and 2532 go 4198 5737 into 1519 the land 1093 of Israel 2474: for 1063 they are dead 2348 5758 which 3588 sought 2212 5723 the young child's 3813 life 5590.

2:21 And 1161 he arose 1453 5685, and took 3880 5627 the young child 3813 and 2532 his 846 mother 3384, and 2532 came 2064 5627 into 1519 the land 1093 of Israel 2474.

2:22 But 1161 when he heard 191 5660 that 3754 Archelaus 745 did reign 936 5719 in 1909 Judaea 2449 in the room 473 of his 846 father 3962 Herod 2264, he was afraid 5399 5675 to go 565 5629 thither 1563: notwithstanding 1161, being warned of God 5537 5685 in 2596 a dream 3677, he turned aside 402 5656 into 1519 the parts 3313 of Galilee 1056:

2:23 And 2532 he came 2064 5631 and dwelt 2730 5656 in 1519 a city 4172 called 3004 5746 Nazareth 3478: that 3704 it might be fulfilled 4137 5686 which 3588 was spoken 4483 5685 by 1223 the prophets 4396, 3754 He shall be called 2564 5701 a Nazarene 3480.
