    13And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

    14So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt;

    1Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

    2Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

    3And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

    4And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.

    5And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,

    6You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.

    7Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

    8And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

    10And when they saw the star they were full of joy.
