2:4	And he gaderide to gidre alle the prynces of prestis, and scribis of the puple, and enqueride of hem, where Crist shulde be borun.
2:5	And thei seiden to hym, In Bethleem of Juda; for so it is writun bi a profete,
2:6	And thou, Bethleem, the lond of Juda, art not the leest among the prynces of Juda; for of thee a duyk schal go out, that schal gouerne my puple of Israel.
2:7	Thanne Eroude clepide pryueli the astromyens, and lernyde bisili of hem the tyme of the sterre that apperide to hem.
2:8	And he sente hem in to Bethleem, and seide, Go ye, and axe ye bisili of the child, and whanne yee han foundun, telle ye it to me, that Y also come, and worschipe hym.
2:9	And whanne thei hadden herd the kyng, thei wenten forth. And lo! the sterre, that thei siyen in the eest, wente bifore hem, til it cam, and stood aboue, where the child was.
2:10	And thei siyen the sterre, and ioyeden with a ful greet ioye.

2:13	And whanne thei weren goon, lo! the aungel of the Lord apperide to Joseph in sleep, and seide, Rise vp, and take the child and his modir, and fle in to Egipt, and be thou there, til that I seie to thee; for it is to come, that Eroude seke the child, to destrie hym.
2:14	And Joseph roos, and took the child and his modir bi nyyt, and wente in to Egipt,
2:15	and he was there to the deeth of Eroude; that it schulde be fulfillid, that was seid of the Lord bi the profete, seiynge, Fro Egipt Y haue clepid my sone.
2:16	Thanne Eroude seynge that he was disseyued of the astromyens, was ful wrooth; and he sente, and slowe alle the children, that weren in Bethleem, and in alle the coostis therof, fro two yeer age and with inne, aftir the tyme that he had enquerid of the astromyens.

2:1	When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem,
2:2	Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him.
2:3	When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.
2:4	And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne.
2:5	And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet,
2:6	And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel.
2:7	Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared,
2:8	And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him.
2:9	So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was.
2:10	And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy,
2:11	And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.
2:12	And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go againe to Herod, they returned into their countrey another way.
2:13	After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.
2:14	So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
2:15	And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
2:16	Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the Wisemen, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the male children that were in Beth-leem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeere old and vnder, according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the Wisemen.
2:17	Then was that fulfilled which is spoken by the Prophet Ieremias, saying,
2:18	In Rhama was a voyce heard, mourning, and weeping, and great howling: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not.
2:19	And whe Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,
2:20	Saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and goe into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the babes life.
2:21	Then he arose vp and tooke the babe and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
2:22	But whe he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in stead of his father Herod, he was afraide to go thither: yet after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galile,
2:23	And went and dwelt in a citie called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, which was, That hee should be called a Nazarite.


2:1	Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
2:2	saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? Since we have seen His star in the east and have 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 would be born.
2:5	And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, because, thus it is written by the prophet:
2:6	'And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; because out of you will come a Ruler that will rule My people Israel.'"
2:7	Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, diligently inquired of them 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 you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."
2:9	After they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young Child was.
2:10	When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
2:11	And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
2:12	And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
2:13	Now when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee into Egypt, and wait there until I bring you word; because Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."
2:14	When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed into Egypt,
2:15	and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I have called My Son."
2:16	Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked because of the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and killed all the children who were in Bethlehem and in all of its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
2:17	Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
2:18	"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are no more."
2:19	But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
2:20	saying, "Arise, and take the young Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, because those who sought the young Child's life are dead."
2:21	Then he arose, and took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
2:22	But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in the position of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. However being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee.
2:23	And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, "He will be called a Nazarene."
