BB MAT Chapter 2

2 When Iesus was borne in Bethlehem, a citie of Iurie, in the dayes of Herode the kyng: beholde, there came wise men from the east to Hierusalem, 2 Saying: Where is he that is borne kyng of Iewes? For we haue seene his starre in the east, and are come to worship hym. 3 When Herode the kyng had hearde these thynges, he was troubled, and all the citie of Hierusalem with hym. 4 And when he hadde gathered all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people together, he demaunded of them where Christe shoulde be borne. 5 And they saide vnto him: At Bethlehem in Iurie. For thus it is written by the prophete. 6 And thou Bethlehem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the princes of Iuda. For out of thee shall there come a capitain, that shal gouerne my people Israel. 7 Then Herode, when he had priuilye called the wyse men, inquired of the diligently, what tyme the starre appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and sayde: Go, and search diligently for the young childe, and when ye haue founde hym, bryng me worde agayne, that I may come, and worship hym also. 9 When they had hearde the kyng, they departed, and loe, the starre which they sawe in the east, went before them, tyl it came & stoode ouer the place wherin the young chylde was. 10 When they sawe the starre, they reioyced excedyngly with great ioy. 11 And went into the house, and founde the young chylde with Marie his mother, and fell downe, and worshypped hym, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto hym gyftes, golde, and frankensence, and mirre. 12 And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they shoulde not go agayne to Herode, they returned into their owne countrey another way. 13 When they were departed, beholde, the Angel of the Lord appeared to Ioseph in a dreame, saying: Aryse, & take the young chylde and his mother, and flee into Egipte, and be thou there, tyll I bryng thee worde. For it wyll come to passe, that Herode shall seke ye young chylde, to destroy hym. 14 When he arose, he toke the young chylde and his mother, by nyght, and departed into Egipt. 15 And was there, vnto the death of Herode, that it myght be fulfylled whiche was spoken of the Lorde, by the prophete, saying: Out of Egipte haue I called my sonne. 16 Then Herode, when he sawe that he was mocked of the wyse men, was excedyng wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the chyldren that were in Bethlehe, and in all the coastes, as many as were two yere olde, or vnder, according to the tyme, which he had diligently searched out, of the wyse men. 17 Then was fulfylled that, which was spoken by Ieremie the prophete, saying. 18 In Rama was there a voyce hearde, lamentation, wepyng, & great mournyng, Rachel weping for her children, and woulde not be comforted, because they were not. 19 But when Herode was dead, beholde, an Angel of the Lorde appeared to Ioseph in a dreame, in Egipt, saying. 20 Aryse, and take the young chylde and his mother, and go into the lande of Israel. For they are dead, whiche sought the young chyldes lyfe. 21 And he arose, & toke the young chylde and his mother, & came into the lande of Israel. 22 But when he hearde, that Archelaus dyd reigne in Iurie in the rowme of his father Herode, he was afrayde to go thyther. Notwithstandyng, after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside, into the parties of Galilee, 23 And went and dwelt in a citie, which is called Nazareth, that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophetes: He shalbe called a Nazarite.
