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,
2:2
Saying, Where is he that
is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
2:3
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
2:4
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should
be born.
2:5
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the
prophet,
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 Governor, that shall
rule my people Israel.
2:7
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
2:8
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go 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.
2:9
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them,
till it came and stood over
where the young child was.
2:10
When they
saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
2:11
And when they were come into the
house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and
when
they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
2:12
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country
another way.
