Matthew 2

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

9 Ref And they, having heard the 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 Ref And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 Ref And they came 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.

12 Ref And being warned `of God' in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

13 Ref Now when they were departed, 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.

9 Ref And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was.

10 Ref And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,

11 Ref and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,

12 Ref and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

13 Ref And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.'
