16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations: and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations: and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph (before they came together) she was found with child of the holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while 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 conceived in her, is of the holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his Name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 (Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying,

23

*Behold, a Virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which, being interpreted, is God with us.)

24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not, till she had brought forth her firstborn 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, there came Wise men from the East to Jerusalem,

2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his Star in the East, and are come to worship him.

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations.

Now the birth of Jesus 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 Holy Ghost. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous 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, 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 5 conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from 22 their sins. Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,

21

23

And they shall call his name 6 Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God Emma24 with us. And Joseph arose from

his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and 25 took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, 7 wise men from the east came 2 to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship 3 him. And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 And when he had gathered all the chief Priests and Scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: For thus it is written by the Prophet;

6 And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda art not the least among the Princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the Wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the Star appeared:

8 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 I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the King, they departed, 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 When they saw the Star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 ༈། And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

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

13 And when they were departed, behold, the 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 bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child, to destroy him.

14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

15 And was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying,*Out of Egypt have I called my son.

1881

4 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa; for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, land of through Judah,

Art in no wise least among

the princes of Judah:

For out of thee shall come
forth a governor,

Which shall be shepherd of my
people Israel.

7 Then Herod privily called the
2 wise men, and learned of them
carefully what time the star
8 appeared. And he sent them to
Bethlehem, and said, Go and
search out carefully concerning
the young child; and when ye
have found him, bring me word,
that I also may come and wor-
9 ship him. 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
10 was. And when they saw the

star, they rejoiced with exceed11 ing great joy. And they came

12

13

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 a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

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. 14 And he arose and took the young

child and his mother by night, 15 and departed into Egypt; 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 did I call my son.

16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time, which he had diligently enquired of the Wise men.

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the Prophet, saying,

18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her chil

dren;

And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought 21 the young child's life. And he

arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into 22 the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew 23 into the parts of Galilee, and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken 2by the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.

And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in 2 the wilderness of Judæa, saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of 3 heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of 2 by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

The voice of one crying in the
wilderness,

Make ye ready the way of the
Lord,

Make his paths straight.

4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild 5 honey. Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about Jordan;
