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。”

Bezoekers uit het oosten en de reactie van Herodes
2 Jezus werd geboren in Bethlehem in de provincie Judea. Koning Herodes was toen aan het bewind. In dezelfde tijd kwamen er enkele magiërs uit het oosten naar Jeruzalem. 2 ‘Waar kunnen wij de pasgeboren koning van de Joden vinden?’ vroegen zij. ‘Want wij hebben een ster zien opgaan die daarop duidde. Wij zijn gekomen om Hem eer te bewijzen.’
3 Toen koning Herodes dit hoorde, schrok hij erg en de hele stad met hem. 4 Hij riep de leidende priesters en de bijbelgeleerden bijeen en vroeg of zij wisten waar de Christus zou worden geboren. 5 ‘In Bethlehem,’ antwoordden zij. ‘In Judea, want de profeet Micha heeft geschreven: 6 “Bethlehem in Juda, u bent beslist niet de kleinste onder de leiders van Juda, want u zult de geboorteplaats zijn van een leider die een herder voor mijn volk Israël zal zijn.” ’
7 Herodes liet de magiërs in het geheim bij zich komen. Nadat hij precies had uitgezocht wanneer zij de ster voor het eerst hadden gezien, liet hij hen gaan en zei: 8 ‘Ga naar Bethlehem en zoek het kind. Als u het hebt gevonden, kom dan terug om mij er alles over te vertellen. Want ik wil Hem ook eer gaan bewijzen.’ 9 Nadat ze de koning hadden aangehoord, reisden de magiërs verder. Tot hun verrassing ging de ster die zij hadden zien opgaan, voor hen uit en bleef stilstaan boven het huis waar het kind zich bevond. 10 Toen ze dat zagen, werden ze enorm blij. 11 Zij gingen naar binnen en vonden het kind en zijn moeder Maria. Vol eerbied knielden zij voor Hem neer. Zij gaven Hem kostbare geschenken: goud, wierook en mirre.
12 Maar zij gingen niet via Jeruzalem naar hun land terug. God had hen in een droom gewaarschuwd niet bij Herodes langs te gaan. Daarom kozen zij een andere weg.
13 Nadat zij waren vertrokken, verscheen aan Jozef een engel van de Here in een droom en die zei: ‘Vlucht met het kind en zijn moeder naar Egypte en blijf daar tot ik zeg dat u kunt terugkomen. Want Herodes zal alles doen om het kind te doden.’ 14 Jozef stond meteen op en vertrok nog diezelfde nacht met Maria en het kind naar Egypte. 15 Hij bleef daar tot Herodes gestorven was. Daarmee werden de woorden van de profeet Hosea werkelijkheid: ‘Uit Egypte haalde Ik mijn zoon.’
16 Herodes werd woedend toen hij ontdekte dat de magiërs hem misleid hadden. Hij gaf de opdracht om in Bethlehem en de hele omgeving alle jongens van twee jaar en jonger te doden. De magiërs hadden namelijk gezegd dat het ongeveer twee jaar geleden was dat zij de ster voor het eerst hadden gezien. 17 Zo gebeurde wat de profeet Jeremia al lang geleden had gezegd: 18 ‘In Rama wordt luid gehuild en gejammerd, Rachel huilt om haar kinderen en wil zich niet laten troosten, omdat ze er niet meer zijn.’
19 Na de dood van koning Herodes zag Jozef in een droom opnieuw een engel van God. 20 Hij zei: ‘Ga met het kind en zijn moeder terug naar Israël. Want de mensen die Hem wilden doden, zijn gestorven.’ 21 En Jozef ging met zijn gezin naar Israël terug. 22 Hij durfde echter niet naar Judea te gaan, omdat hij had gehoord dat Herodesʼ zoon Archelaüs daar nu de macht in handen had. In een droom zei God hem naar de provincie Galilea te gaan. 23 Daar gingen zij wonen in de stad Nazareth. Dat klopte met wat de profeten hadden voorspeld: ‘Hij zal Nazarener genoemd worden.’

Matthew 2
King James Version
2 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, 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.
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 Jeremiah 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.

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)
