Arrivée des mages
2 Jésus étant né à Bethléhem en Judée, au temps du roi Hérode, voici des mages[a] d’Orient arrivèrent à Jérusalem, 2 et dirent: Où est le roi des Juifs qui vient de naître? car nous avons vu son étoile en Orient, et nous sommes venus pour l’adorer.
3 Le roi Hérode, ayant appris cela, fut troublé, et tout Jérusalem avec lui. 4 Il assembla tous les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes du peuple, et il s’informa auprès d’eux du lieu où le Christ devait naître. 5 Ils lui dirent: A Bethléhem en Judée; car voici ce qui a été écrit par le prophète:
6 Et toi, Bethléhem, terre de Juda,
Tu n’es certes pas la moindre entre les principales villes de Juda,
Car de toi sortira un chef
Qui paîtra Israël, mon peuple.[b]
7 Alors Hérode fit appeler en secret les mages, et s’enquit soigneusement auprès d’eux depuis combien de temps l’étoile brillait. 8 Puis il les envoya à Bethléhem, en disant: Allez, et prenez des informations exactes sur le petit enfant; quand vous l’aurez trouvé, faites-le-moi savoir, afin que j’aille aussi moi-même l’adorer.
9 Après avoir entendu le roi, ils partirent. Et voici, l’étoile qu’ils avaient vue en Orient allait devant eux jusqu’au moment où, arrivée au-dessus du lieu où était le petit enfant, elle s’arrêta. 10 Quand ils aperçurent l’étoile, ils furent saisis d’une très grande joie. 11 Ils entrèrent dans la maison, virent le petit enfant avec Marie, sa mère, se prosternèrent et l’adorèrent; ils ouvrirent ensuite leurs trésors, et lui offrirent en présent de l’or, de l’encens et de la myrrhe. 12 Puis, divinement avertis en songe de ne pas retourner vers Hérode, ils regagnèrent leur pays par un autre chemin.
Fuite en Egypte
13 Lorsqu’ils furent partis, voici, un ange du Seigneur apparut en songe à Joseph, et dit: Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère, fuis en Egypte, et restes-y jusqu’à ce que je te parle; car Hérode cherchera le petit enfant pour le faire périr. 14 Joseph se leva, prit de nuit le petit enfant et sa mère, et se retira en Egypte. 15 Il y resta jusqu’à la mort d’Hérode, afin que s’accomplisse ce que le Seigneur avait annoncé par le prophète: J’ai appelé mon fils hors d’Egypte.[c]
Hérode massacre des enfants innocents
16 Alors Hérode, voyant qu’il avait été joué par les mages, se mit dans une grande colère, et il envoya tuer tous les enfants de deux ans et au-dessous qui étaient à Bethléhem et dans tout son territoire, selon la date dont il s’était soigneusement enquis auprès des mages. 17 Alors s’accomplit ce qui avait été annoncé par Jérémie, le prophète:
18 On a entendu des cris à Rama,
Des pleurs et de grandes lamentations:
Rachel pleure ses enfants,
Et n’a pas voulu être consolée,
Parce qu’ils ne sont plus.[d]
Retour de Joseph et établissement à Nazareth
19 Quand Hérode fut mort, voici, un ange du Seigneur apparut en songe à Joseph, en Egypte, 20 et dit: Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère, et va dans le pays d’Israël, car ceux qui en voulaient à la vie du petit enfant sont morts. 21 Joseph se leva, prit le petit enfant et sa mère, et alla dans le pays d’Israël. 22 Mais, ayant appris qu’Archélaüs[e] régnait sur la Judée à la place d’Hérode, son père, il craignit de s’y rendre; et, divinement averti en songe, il se retira dans le territoire de la Galilée, 23 et vint demeurer dans une ville appelée Nazareth, afin que s’accomplisse ce qui avait été annoncé par les prophètes: Il sera appelé Nazaréen[f].

Les mages et Hérode
2 Jésus naquit à Bethléhem en Judée, à l’époque du roi Hérode. Or, des mages[a] venus d'Orient arrivèrent à Jérusalem 2 et dirent: «Où est le roi des Juifs qui vient de naître? En effet, nous avons vu son étoile en Orient et nous sommes venus pour l'adorer.»
3 Quand le roi Hérode apprit cela, il fut troublé et tout Jérusalem avec lui. 4 Il rassembla tous les chefs des prêtres[b] et spécialistes de la loi que comptait le peuple et leur demanda où le Messie devait naître. 5 Ils lui dirent: «A Bethléhem en Judée, car voici ce qui a été écrit par le prophète: 6 Et toi, Bethléhem, terre de Juda, tu n'es certes pas la plus petite parmi les principales villes de Juda, car de toi sortira un chef qui prendra soin d’Israël, mon peuple.[c]»
7 Alors Hérode fit appeler en secret les mages; il s'informa soigneusement auprès d'eux du moment où l'étoile était apparue, 8 puis il les envoya à Bethléhem en disant: «Allez prendre des informations exactes sur le petit enfant. Quand vous l'aurez trouvé, faites-le-moi savoir, afin que j'aille moi aussi l'adorer.»
9 Après avoir entendu le roi, ils partirent. L'étoile qu'ils avaient vue en Orient allait devant eux jusqu'au moment où, arrivée au-dessus de l'endroit où était le petit enfant, elle s'arrêta. 10 Quand ils aperçurent l'étoile, ils furent remplis d'une très grande joie. 11 Ils entrèrent dans la maison, virent le petit enfant avec Marie, sa mère, se prosternèrent et l'adorèrent. Ensuite, ils ouvrirent leurs trésors et lui offrirent en cadeau de l'or, de l'encens et de la myrrhe. 12 Puis, avertis dans un rêve de ne pas retourner vers Hérode, ils regagnèrent leur pays par un autre chemin.
13 Lorsqu'ils furent partis, un ange du Seigneur apparut dans un rêve à Joseph et dit: «Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère, fuis en Egypte et restes-y jusqu'à ce que je te parle, car Hérode va rechercher le petit enfant pour le faire mourir.» 14 Joseph se leva, prit de nuit le petit enfant et sa mère et se retira en Egypte. 15 Il y resta jusqu'à la mort d'Hérode, afin que s'accomplisse ce que le Seigneur avait annoncé par le prophète: J'ai appelé mon fils à sortir d'Egypte.[d]
16 Quand Hérode vit que les mages l'avaient trompé, il se mit dans une grande colère, et il envoya tuer tous les enfants de deux ans et au-dessous qui étaient à Bethléhem et dans tout son territoire, selon la date qu'il s'était fait préciser par les mages. 17 Alors s'accomplit ce que le prophète Jérémie avait annoncé: 18 On a entendu des cris à Rama, des pleurs et de grandes lamentations: c'est Rachel qui pleure ses enfants et n'a pas voulu être consolée, parce qu'ils ne sont plus là.[e]
19 Après la mort d'Hérode, un ange du Seigneur apparut dans un rêve à Joseph, en Egypte, 20 et dit: «Lève-toi, prends le petit enfant et sa mère et va dans le pays d'Israël, car ceux qui en voulaient à la vie du petit enfant sont morts.» 21 Joseph se leva, prit le petit enfant et sa mère et alla dans le pays d'Israël. 22 Cependant, quand il apprit qu'Archélaüs régnait sur la Judée à la place de son père Hérode, il eut peur de s'y rendre. Averti dans un rêve, il se retira dans le territoire de la Galilée 23 et vint habiter dans une ville appelée Nazareth, afin que s'accomplisse ce que les prophètes avaient annoncé: «Il sera appelé nazaréen.»

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.

Wise Men from the East
2 Now after (A)Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, [a]wise men (B)from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, (C)“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen (D)His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all (E)the chief priests and (F)scribes of the people together, (G)he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
6 ‘But(H) you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
(I)Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the [b]wise men, determined from them what time the (J)star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen 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 exceedingly great joy. 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, (K)they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Then, being divinely warned (L)in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.
The Flight into Egypt
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you 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 for Egypt, 15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, (M)“Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
Massacre of the Innocents
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 “A (N)voice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted,
Because they are no more.”
The Home in Nazareth(O)
19 Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 (P)saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who (Q)sought the young Child’s life are dead.” 21 Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a (R)dream, he turned aside (S)into the region of Galilee. 23 And he came and dwelt in a city called (T)Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled (U)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)
