Matthew 2:7-15
-
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
-
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.
-
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.
-
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
-
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.
-
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
-
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
-
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
-
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
