智者来朝拜
2 希律王执政期间，耶稣降生在犹太的伯利恒城。
当时有几位智者[a]从东方来到耶路撒冷， 2 问道：“那生来做犹太人之王的在哪里呢？我们在东方看见祂的星，特来朝拜祂。”
3 希律王听后，心里不安，全城的人都感到不安。 4 希律王就召来祭司长和律法教师，问他们：“基督在哪里降生呢？”
5 他们回答说：“在犹太的伯利恒，因为先知这样记载，
6 “‘犹大地区的伯利恒啊！
你在犹大各城中并不是最小的，
因为有一位君王要从你那里出来，
牧养我的以色列子民。’”
7 于是，希律暗中召见那几位智者，仔细查问那星出现的准确时间， 8 然后派他们去伯利恒，并吩咐道：“你们去仔细寻访那个小孩，找到了，就回来报信，我也好去朝拜祂。”
9 他们听了王的吩咐，就去了。忽然，那颗曾在东方出现的星又出现在他们前面，引领他们来到小孩耶稣所在的地方，便停下来。 10 他们看见那颗星，喜出望外。
11 他们进了屋子，看见孩子和祂母亲玛丽亚，就俯伏在地上拜祂，并打开盛宝物的盒子献上黄金、乳香和没药作礼物。 12 他们在梦中得到指示不可回希律那里，便改道返回了家乡。
逃往埃及
13 他们离开之后，主的天使在梦中向约瑟显现，说：“起来，带着小孩子和祂母亲逃往埃及，住在那里等候我的通知，因为希律要寻找这孩子，杀害祂。” 14 于是，约瑟起来带着孩子和祂母亲连夜逃往埃及， 15 并在那里一直住到希律死了。这就应验了主借着先知所说的话：“我把儿子从埃及召出来。”
16 希律见自己被智者愚弄，大为恼怒，便照着智者所说的时间推算，下令把伯利恒附近两岁以下的男孩杀光。 17 这正应验了耶利米先知的话：
18 “在拉玛有痛哭哀号的声音，
是拉结在为儿女哀痛，
不肯接受安慰，
因为他们都死了！”
定居拿撒勒
19 希律死后，主的天使在梦中向在埃及的约瑟显现，说： 20 “起来，带着孩子和祂母亲回以色列去吧！因为要杀害孩子的人已经死了。” 21 约瑟就起来，带着孩子和祂母亲返回以色列。
22 但约瑟听闻亚基劳继承父亲希律的王位统治犹太，就不敢回犹太。这时，他在梦中得到主的指示，便前往加利利地区， 23 定居在拿撒勒镇。这应验了先知的话：“祂将被称为拿撒勒人。”

De wijze mannen uit het Oosten
2 Jezus werd geboren in Betlehem in Judea. Toen Hij geboren was, kwamen wijze mannen uit het Oosten naar Jeruzalem. In die tijd was Herodes koning.[a] 2 Ze vroegen: "Waar kunnen we de koning van de Joden vinden die kort geleden is geboren? We hebben in het Oosten zijn ster zien opgaan. We zijn gekomen om Hem te eren en Hem geschenken te brengen." 3 Dit was een grote schok voor koning Herodes en de bewoners van Jeruzalem. 4 Herodes liet de leiders van de priesters en de wetgeleerden van Jeruzalem bij zich komen. Hij wilde van hen weten waar de Messias[b] geboren zou worden. 5 Ze antwoordden: "Hij wordt in Betlehem in Judea geboren. Want de profeet Micha heeft opgeschreven: 6 'En jij, Betlehem in het land van Juda, jij bent minstens zo belangrijk als de grote steden van Juda. Want in jou zal iemand geboren worden die mijn volk Israël als een herder zal leiden.' "
7 Toen liet Herodes in het geheim de wijze mannen bij zich komen. Hij wilde heel precies van hen weten wanneer ze de ster voor het eerst hadden gezien. 8 Daarna stuurde hij hen naar Betlehem. En hij zei tegen hen: "Ga dat kind zoeken. Als jullie het hebben gevonden, moeten jullie het mij laten weten. Want dan ga ik ook naar Hem toe om Hem te eren en Hem geschenken te brengen." 9 Zo vertrokken ze.
De ster die ze in het Oosten hadden gezien, ging voor hen uit. Hij bleef staan boven de plaats waar het kind was. 10 Toen ze de ster daar zagen, waren ze erg blij. 11 Ze gingen het huis binnen en vonden daar het kind met zijn moeder Maria. Ze knielden voor Hem neer en aanbaden Hem. En ze gaven Hem dure geschenken: goud, wierook en mirre. 12 En God waarschuwde hen in een droom om niet naar Herodes terug te gaan. Daarom reisden ze langs een andere weg naar hun land terug.
Herodes laat de kinderen van Betlehem doden
13 Toen ze waren vertrokken, zag Jozef in een droom een engel van de Heer God. De engel zei: "Sta onmiddellijk op en vlucht met het kind en zijn moeder naar Egypte. Blijf daar totdat Ik je zeg dat je terug mag komen. Want Herodes zoekt naar het kind. Hij wil het doden." 14 Toen stond Jozef 's nachts op en vluchtte met het kind en Maria naar Egypte. 15 Daar bleef hij totdat Herodes was gestorven. Zo gebeurde wat de Heer God vroeger al door de profeet Hosea had gezegd: 'Ik heb mijn Zoon uit Egypte geroepen.'
16 Herodes was woedend toen hij merkte dat de wijze mannen hem hadden bedrogen. Daarom stuurde hij soldaten naar Betlehem om daar alle jongetjes van twee jaar en jonger te doden. En niet alleen in Betlehem, maar ook in de wijde omgeving daar omheen. Hij bepaalde de leeftijd van twee jaar, omdat hij van de wijze mannen wist dat het kind inmiddels hooguit twee jaar kon zijn. 17 Zo gebeurde wat de profeet Jeremia vroeger al had gezegd: 18 'Iemand huilt en jammert in Rama. Het is Rachel. Ze huilt over haar kinderen, omdat ze er niet meer zijn. Ze wil zich niet laten troosten.'
Jozef komt terug uit Egypte
19 Toen Herodes was gestorven, zag Jozef in Egypte in een droom een engel van de Heer God. 20 De engel zei: "Ga met het kind en zijn moeder terug naar Israël. Want de mensen die Hem wilden doden, zijn gestorven." 21 Jozef reisde met het kind en Maria terug naar Israël. 22 Maar hij durfde niet in Judea te gaan wonen. Want Herodes' zoon Archelaüs was de nieuwe koning van Judea geworden. En God waarschuwde Jozef in een droom ook voor hem. Daarom ging hij naar het gebied Galilea. 23 Daar ging hij in de stad Nazaret wonen. Zo gebeurde wat de profeten vroeger al hadden gezegd. Want ze hadden gezegd dat Hij een Nazarener[c] zou worden genoemd.

The Wise Men
2 When Jesus was born in the village of Bethlehem in Judea, Herod was king. During this time some wise men[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and said, “Where is the child born to be king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east[b] and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard about this, he was worried, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. 4 Herod brought together the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses and asked them, “Where will the Messiah be born?”
5 They told him, “He will be born in Bethlehem, just as the prophet wrote,
6 (A) ‘Bethlehem in the land
of Judea,
you are very important
among the towns of Judea.
From your town
will come a leader,
who will be like a shepherd
for my people Israel.’ ”
7 Herod secretly called in the wise men and asked them when they had first seen the star. 8 He told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, let me know. I also want to go and worship him.”
9 The wise men listened to what the king said and then left. And the star they had seen in the east went on ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 They were thrilled and excited to see the star.
11 When the men went into the house and saw the child with Mary, his mother, they knelt down and worshiped him. They took out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh[c] and gave them to him. 12 Later they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and they went back home by another road.
The Escape to Egypt
13 After the wise men had gone, an angel from the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Hurry and take the child and his mother to Egypt! Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is looking for the child and wants to kill him.”
14 That night, Joseph got up and took his wife and the child to Egypt, 15 (B) where they stayed until Herod died. So the Lord's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, “I called my son out of Egypt.”
The Killing of the Children
16 When Herod found out that the wise men from the east had tricked him, he was very angry. He gave orders for his men to kill all the boys who lived in or near Bethlehem and were two years old and younger. This was based on what he had learned from the wise men.
17 So the Lord's promise came true, just as the prophet Jeremiah had said,
18 (C) “In Ramah a voice was heard
crying and weeping loudly.
Rachel was mourning
for her children,
and she refused
to be comforted,
because they were dead.”
The Return from Egypt
19 After King Herod died, an angel from the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph while he was still in Egypt. 20 The angel said, “Get up and take the child and his mother back to Israel. The people who wanted to kill him are now dead.”
21 Joseph got up and left with them for Israel. 22 But when he heard that Herod's son Archelaus was now ruler of Judea, he was afraid to go there. Then in a dream he was told to go to Galilee, 23 (D) and they went to live there in the town of Nazareth. So the Lord's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, “He will be called a Nazarene.”[d]

The Magi Visit the Messiah
2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,(A) during the time of King Herod,(B) Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?(C) We saw his star(D) when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem(E) in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b]”(F)
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.(G) Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts(H) of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned(I) in a dream(J) not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
The Escape to Egypt
13 When they had gone, an angel(K) of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream.(L) “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”(M)
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled(N) what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[c](O)
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:(P)
18 “A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel(Q) weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more.”[d](R)
The Return to Nazareth
19 After Herod died, an angel(S) of the Lord appeared in a dream(T) to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”(U)
21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream,(V) he withdrew to the district of Galilee,(W) 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.(X) So was fulfilled(Y) what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.(Z)
