called the wise men, carefully inquired 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.
  • 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 enquired of the wise men.
  • 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy 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.
