  Matthew   chapter 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 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.
   3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was
  troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
   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.
   5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea:
  for thus it is written by the prophet,
   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.
   7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise
  men, inquired 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.
  16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the
  wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and
  slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in
  all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
  according to the time which he had diligently
  inquired of the wise men.
  17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
  the prophet, saying,
  18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and
  weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her
  children, and would not be comforted, because they
  are not.
  19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the
  Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
  20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his
  mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are
  dead which sought the young child's life.
  21 And he arose, and took the young child and his
  mother, and came into the land of Israel.
  22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in
  Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid
  to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God
  in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of
  Galilee:
  23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth:
  that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
  prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
