Now the 8 birth 9 of Jesus 18 Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the 10 Holy Ghost. And Joseph her hus- 19 band. being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But 20 when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife for that which is 11 conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring 21 forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. Now all this 22 is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

Behold, the virgin shall be 23 with child, and shall bring forth a son,

And they shall call his name 12 Immanuel; which is, being interpreted,

24 God with us. And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto 25 him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS. 2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, 1 wise men from the cast 2 came to Jerusalem, saying, 2 Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are 3 come to worship him. And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all 4 Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should 5 be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written by the prophet,

the princes of Judah:

For out of thee shall come forth a governor,

Which shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

9 And they, having heard the appeared king, went their way; 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 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding

great joy. And they came 11 into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in 12 a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Now when they were depart- 13 ed, behold, an 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 tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. And he arose and took the 14 young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; and was there until 15 the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son. Then Herod, when he saw 16 that he was mocked of the

1 wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully learned of the 1 wise men. Then was fulfilled that 17 which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

Then cometh Jesus from 13 Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John would have hinder- 14 ed him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
