* [[Matthew 2:2 (1611 KJV)|2]]  Saying, Where is he that is borne King of the Iewes? for we haue seene his Starre in the East, and are come to worship him.
* [[Matthew 2:3 (1611 KJV)|3]]    When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.
* [[Matthew 2:4 (1611 KJV)|4]]    And when he had gathered all the chiefe Priests and Scribes of the people together, hee demanded of them where Christ should be borne.
* [[Matthew 2:5 (1611 KJV)|5]]    And they said vnto him, In Bethlehem of Iudea: For thus it is written by the Prophet;
* [[Matthew 2:6 (1611 KJV)|6]]   And thou Bethlehem in the land of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: for out of thee shall come a Gouernour, that shall rule my people Israel.
* [[Matthew 2:7 (1611 KJV)|7]]    Then Herod, when he had priuily called the Wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the Starre appeared:

* [[Matthew 2:9 (1611 KJV)|9]]   When they had heard the King, they departed, and loe, the Starre which they saw in the East, went before them, till it came and stood ouer where the young childe was.

* [[Matthew 2:11 (1611 KJV)|11]]    ¶ And when they were come into the house, they saw the yong child with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented vnto him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrhe.
* [[Matthew 2:12 (1611 KJV)|12]]   And being warned of God in a dreame, that they should not returne to Herode, they departed into their owne countrey another way.
* [[Matthew 2:13 (1611 KJV)|13]]   And when they were departed, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise and take the young childe, and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and bee thou there vntill I bring thee word: for Herode will seeke the young childe, to destroy him.
* [[Matthew 2:14 (1611 KJV)|14]]   When he arose, he tooke the yong childe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
* [[Matthew 2:15 (1611 KJV)|15]]    And was there vntill the death of Herode, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
* [[Matthew 2:16 (1611 KJV)|16]]    ¶ Then Herode, when hee saw that hee was mocked of the Wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slewe all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeeres olde and vnder, according to the time, which he had diligently enquired of the Wise men.
* [[Matthew 2:17 (1611 KJV)|17]]    Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremie the Prophet, saying,
* [[Matthew 2:18 (1611 KJV)|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.
* [[Matthew 2:19 (1611 KJV)|19]]   ¶ But when Herode was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,
