| 1 | Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod, the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, | Mt 1:25 Lk 2:4-7 |
| 2 | "Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him." | Mt 21:5 Ps 2:6 Isa 9:6 Isa 9:7 Isa 32:1 Isa 32:2 Jer 23:5 Zc 9:9 Lk 2:11 Lk 19:38 Lk 23:3 Lk 23:38 Jn 1:49 Jn 12:13 Jn 18:37 Jn 19:12-15 Jn 19:19-15 |
| 3 | When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. | Mt 8:29 Mt 23:37 1Ki 18:17 1Ki 18:18 Jn 11:47 Jn 11:48 Ac 4:2 Ac 4:24-27 Ac 5:24-28 Ac 16:20 Ac 16:21 Ac 17:6 Ac 17:7 |
| 4 | Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born. | Mt 21:15 Mt 21:23 Mt 26:3 Mt 26:47 Mt 27:1 1Ch 24:4-19 2Ch 36:14 Ezr 10:5 Ne 12:7 Ps 2:2 Jn 7:32 Jn 18:3 |
| 5 | They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet, | Gn 35:19 Jsh 19:15 Ru 1:1 Ru 1:19 Ru 2:4 Ru 4:11 1Sa 16:1 |
| 6 | `You Bethlehem, land of Judah, Are in no way least among the princes of Judah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall shepherd my people, Israel`". | Mt 2:1 Mic 5:2 Jn 7:42 |
| 7 | Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared. | Mt 26:3-5 Ex 1:10 1Sa 18:21 Ps 10:9 Ps 10:10 Ps 55:21 Ps 64:4-6 Ps 83:3 Ps 83:4 Isa 7:5-7 Ezk 38:10 Ezk 38:11 Rev 12:1-5 Rev 12:15-5 |
| 8 | He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him." | 1Sa 23:22 1Sa 23:23 2Sa 17:14 1Ki 19:2 Jb 5:12 Jb 5:13 Ps 33:10 Ps 33:11 Pr 21:30 Lam 3:37 1Co 3:19 1Co 3:20 |
| 9 | They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was. | Mt 2:2 Ps 25:12 Pr 2:1-6 Pr 8:17 2Pe 1:19 |
| 10 | When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. | Dt 32:13 Ps 67:4 Ps 105:3 Lk 2:10 Lk 2:20 Ac 13:46-48 Ro 15:9-13 |
| 11 | They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. | Lk 2:16 Lk 2:26-32 Lk 2:38-32 |
| 12 | Being warned in a dream that they shouldn`t return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way. | Mt 2:22 Mt 1:20 Mt 27:19 Gn 20:6 Gn 20:7 Gn 31:24 Jb 33:15-17 Dn 2:19 |
| 13 | Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." | Mt 2:19 Mt 1:20 Ac 5:19 Ac 10:7 Ac 10:22 Ac 12:11 Heb 1:13 Heb 1:14 |
| 14 | He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, | Mt 2:20 Mt 2:21 Mt 1:24 Ac 26:21 |
| 15 | and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son." | Mt 2:19 Ac 12:1-4 Ac 12:23-4 Ac 12:24-4 |
| 16 | Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent forth, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem, and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men. | Gn 39:14 Gn 39:17 Nm 22:29 Nm 24:10 Jg 16:10 Jb 12:4 |
| 17 | Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, |
| 18 | "A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; She wouldn`t be comforted, because they are no more." | Jer 31:15 |
| 19 | But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, | Ps 76:10 Isa 51:12 Dn 8:25 Dn 11:45 |
| 20 | "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child`s life are dead." | Mt 2:13 Pr 3:5 Pr 3:6 |
| 21 | He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. | Gn 6:22 Heb 11:8 |
| 22 | But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee, | Gn 19:17-21 1Sa 16:2 Ac 9:13 Ac 9:14 |
| 23 | and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene." | Jn 18:5 Jn 18:7 Jn 19:19 Ac 2:22 |
