MATTHEW 1:18-2:15.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ
was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was espoused to
Jospeh, before they came together
she was found with child of the
Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being
"a just man, and not willing to
make her a public example, was
minded to put her away privily.
But when he thought on these
things, behold, the 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 con-
ceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people
from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying,
. Behold, a virgin shall be with the
child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name En-
manuel, which being interpreted
is God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from
sleep did as the angel of the Lord
had hidden him, and took unto him
his wife.
And knew her not till she hac
brought forth her firstborn son;
and he called his name Jesus.
: Now when Jesus was born If
+ Bethlehem Of Judea in the days Of
$ Herod, the king, behold, Their
came wise men from the east tt
Jerusalem.
Saying, Where is he that is borr
King of the Jews? for we hav'
seen hsi star in the east, and arr
. come to worship him.
! When Herod the king had heare
l these things, he was troubled, ane
all Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered al
: pie together, he demanded of then
the priests and scribes of the PEG.
where Christ should be born.
And they said unto him in Beth,
lehem of Judea; for thus it is writ
ten by the prophet.
And thou Bethlehem, in the lane
Of Judea ARE not least among the
princes of Judea: for out of thee
shall come a Governor, that shall
> rule my people Israel.
| Then Herod, when he had privi-
ly called the wise men enquired of
them diligently what time the star
appeared.
And he sent them to Bethlehem,
and said, Go and search diligently
for the young child: and when ye
have found him, bring me word
again, that l may come and wor-
ship him also.
When they had heard the king,
they departed; and 10, the star,
which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it. came and stood
over where the young child was.
When they saw the star, they re-
joiced with exceeding great joy.
And when they were came into
the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and
fell down, and w~orshiped him:
and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him
gifts; gold, and frankincense, and
myrrh.
And being warned of God in a
vision that they should not return
to Herod, they departed into their
own country another way.
And when they had departed,
behold the angel of the Lord ap-
peared to Joseph in a dream, say

child and his mother and flee into
Egypt, and be thou there until l

When he arose, he took the
young child and its mother by
night, and departed into Egypt.
And was there until the death
of Herod: that it might be fulfill
