ASV_Strong : Matthew 2
1. Now when[G1161] Jesus[G2424] was born[G1080] in[G1722] Bethlehem[G965] of Judaea[G2449] in[G1722] the days[G2250] of Herod[G2264] the king[G935], behold[G2400], Wise-men[G3097] from[G575] the east[G395] came[G3854] to[G1519] Jerusalem[G2414], saying,
2. Where[G4226] is[G2076] he[G3588] that is[G2076] born[G5088] King[G935] of the Jews[G2453]? for[G1063] we saw[G1492] his[G846] star[G792] in[G1722] the east[G395], and[G2532] are come[G2064] to worship[G4352] him[G846].
3. And when[G1161] Herod[G2264] the king[G935] heard[G191] it[G5015], he was troubled, and[G2532] all[G3956] Jerusalem[G2414] with[G3326] him[G846].
4. And[G2532] gathering[G4863] together[G4863] all[G3956] the chief priests[G749] and[G2532] scribes[G1122] of the people[G2992], he inquired[G4441] of[G3844] them[G846] where[G4226] the Christ[G5547] should be born[G1080].
5. And[G1161] they said[G2036] unto him[G846], In[G1722] Bethlehem[G965] of Judaea[G2449]: for[G1063] thus[G3779] it is written[G1125] through[G1223] the prophet[G4396],
6. And[G2532] thou[G4771] Bethlehem[G965], land[G1093] of Judah[G2448], art[G1488] in no[G3760] wise least[G1646] among[G1722] the princes[G2232] of[G1537] Judah[G2448]: for[G1063] out of[G1537] thee[G4675] shall come[G1831] forth a governor[G2233], who shall be shepherd[G4165] of my[G3450] people[G2992] Israel[G2474].
7. Then[G5119] Herod[G2264] privily[G2977] called[G2564] the Wise-men[G3097], and learned[G198] of[G3844] them[G846] exactly[G198] what time[G5550] the star[G792] appeared[G5316].
8. And[G2532] he sent[G3992] them[G846] to[G1519] Bethlehem[G965], and said[G2036], Go[G4198] and search[G1833] out exactly[G4012] concerning[G199] the young child[G3813]; and[G1161] when[G1875] ye have found[G2147] him[G518], bring me[G3427] word[G518], that[G3704] I[G2504] also[G2504] may come[G2064] and worship[G4352] him[G846].
9. And[G1161] they[G191], having heard the king[G935], went[G4198] their way[G2532]; and lo[G2400], the star[G792], which[G3739] they saw[G1492] in[G1722] the east[G395], went before[G4254] them[G846], till[G2193] it came[G2064] and stood[G2476] over[G1883] where[G3757] the young child[G3813] was[G2258].
10. And when[G1161] they saw[G1492] the star[G792], they rejoiced[G5463] with exceeding[G4970] great[G3173] joy[G5479].
11. And[G2532] they came[G2064] into[G1519] the house[G3614] and saw[G2147] the young child[G3813] with[G3326] Mary[G3137] his[G846] mother[G3384]; and[G2532] they fell down[G4098] and[G2532] worshipped[G4352] him[G846]; and[G2532] opening their[G846] treasures[G2344] they offered[G4374] unto him[G846] gifts[G1435], gold[G5557] and[G2532] frankincense[G3030] and[G2532] myrrh[G4666].
12. And[G2532] being warned of God[G5537] in[G2596] a dream[G3677] that they should[G344] not[G3361] return[G344] to[G4314] Herod[G2264], they departed[G402] into[G1519] their own[G846] country[G5561] another[G243] way[G3598].
13. Now when[G1161] they[G846] were departed[G402], behold[G2400], an angel[G32] of the Lord[G2962] appeareth[G5316] to Joseph[G2501] in[G2596] a dream[G3677], saying[G3004], Arise[G1453] and take[G3880] the young child[G3813] and[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384], and[G2532] flee[G5343] into[G1519] Egypt[G125], and[G2532] be thou[G2468] there[G1563] until[G2193] I[G302] tell[G2036] thee[G4671]: for[G1063] Herod[G2264] will[G3195] seek[G2212] the young child[G3813] to destroy[G622] him[G846].
14. And[G1161] he arose[G1453] and took[G3880] the young child[G3813] and[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384] by night[G3571], and[G2532] departed[G402] into[G1519] Egypt[G125];
15. and[G2532] was[G2258] there[G1563] until[G2193] the death[G5054] of Herod[G2264]: that[G2443] it might be fulfilled[G4137] which was spoken[G4483] by[G1223] the Lord[G2962] through[G1223] the prophet[G4396], saying[G3004], Out of[G1537] Egypt[G125] did I call[G2564] my[G3450] son[G5207].
16. Then[G5119] Herod[G2264], when he saw[G1492] that[G3754] he was[G2373] mocked[G1702] of[G5259] the Wise-men[G3097], was[G2373] exceeding[G3029] wroth[G2373], and[G2532] sent forth[G649], and slew[G337] all[G3956] the male children[G3816] that were[G3588] in[G1722] Bethlehem[G965], and[G2532] in[G1722] all[G3956] the borders[G3725] thereof[G846], from[G575] two years old[G1332] and[G2532] under[G2736], according to[G2596] the time[G5550] which[G3739] he had exactly learned[G198] of the Wise-men[G3844].
17. Then[G5119] was fulfilled[G4137] that which was spoken[G4483] through[G5259] Jeremiah[G2408] the prophet[G4396], saying[G3004],
18. A voice[G5456] was heard[G191] in[G1722] Ramah[G4471], weeping[G2805] and[G2532] great[G4183] mourning[G3602], Rachel[G4478] weeping[G2799] for her[G846] children[G5043]; And[G2532] she would[G2309] not[G3756] be comforted[G3870], because[G3754] they are[G1526] not[G3756].
19. But when[G1161] Herod[G2264] was dead[G5053], behold[G2400], an angel[G32] of the Lord[G2962] appeareth[G5316] in[G2596] a dream[G3677] to Joseph[G2501] in[G1722] Egypt[G125], saying,
20. Arise[G1453] and[G2532] take[G3880] the young child[G3813] and[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384], and[G2532] go[G4198] into[G1519] the land[G1093] of Israel[G2474]: for[G1063] they are dead[G2348] that[G3588] sought[G2212] the young child[G3813]'s life[G5590].
21. And[G1161] he arose[G1453] and took[G3880] the young child[G3813] and[G2532] his[G846] mother[G3384], and[G2532] came[G2064] into[G1519] the land[G1093] of Israel[G2474].
22. But[G1161] when he heard[G191] that[G3754] Archelaus[G745] was reigning[G936] over[G1909] Judaea[G2449] in[G1909] the room of[G473] his[G846] father[G3962] Herod[G2264], he was afraid[G5399] to go[G565] thither[G1563]; and[G1161] being warned of God[G5537] in[G2596] a dream[G3677], he withdrew into[G1519] the parts[G3313] of Galilee[G1056],
23. and[G2532] came[G2064] and dwelt[G2730] in[G1519] a city[G4172] called[G3004] Nazareth[G3478]; that[G3704] it might be fulfilled[G4137] which[G3588] was spoken[G4483] through[G1223] the prophets[G3754], that he should be called[G2564] a Nazarene[G3480].
