For|strong="G1063" we|strong="G1063" saw|strong="G3708" his|strong="G1722" star in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" east, and|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G2532" worship|strong="G4352" him|strong="G3588".’

6 “And|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771", Bethlehem in|strong="G1722" Judah|strong="G2455"’s land|strong="G1093",
7 Then|strong="G5119" Herod|strong="G2264" secretly|strong="G2977" sent|strong="G3844" for|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3588" astrologers. He|strong="G3588" found out|strong="G3844" from|strong="G3844" them|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" time|strong="G5550" of|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3588" appearance of|strong="G3844" the|strong="G3588" star.

When|strong="G1161" you|strong="G3004" have|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" him|strong="G3588", bring|strong="G2532" word|strong="G3588" back|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" me|strong="G1473", so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" I|strong="G1473", too|strong="G2532", can|strong="G3004" go|strong="G4198" and|strong="G2532" worship|strong="G4352" him|strong="G3588".’
9 The|strong="G1722" astrologers heard what|strong="G3739" the|strong="G1722" king|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" say|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" continued their|strong="G1438" journey|strong="G4198". The|strong="G1722" star which|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" seen|strong="G3708" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" east led|strong="G4254" them|strong="G3588" on|strong="G1722", until|strong="G2193" it|strong="G2532" reached|strong="G2064" and|strong="G2532" stood|strong="G2476" over|strong="G1883" the|strong="G1722" place|strong="G1722" where|strong="G3757" the|strong="G1722" child|strong="G3813" was|strong="G1510".
10 At|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" sight|strong="G3588" of|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" star they|strong="G1161" were|strong="G3588" filled with|strong="G3588" joy|strong="G5479".
11 Entering the|strong="G2532" house|strong="G3614", they|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G3813" with|strong="G3326" his|strong="G1519" mother|strong="G3384", Mary|strong="G3137", and|strong="G2532" fell|strong="G4098" at|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" feet and|strong="G2532" worshipped|strong="G4352" him|strong="G3588". Then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" opened their|strong="G2532" treasure|strong="G2344" chests, and|strong="G2532" offered|strong="G4374" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G3813" presents of|strong="G2532" gold|strong="G5557", frankincense|strong="G3030", and|strong="G2532" myrrh|strong="G4666".

13 After|strong="G2596" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" left, an|strong="G2532" angel of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" appeared|strong="G3708" to|strong="G1519" Joseph|strong="G2501" in|strong="G1519" a|strong="G2532" dream|strong="G3677", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Get|strong="G1453" up|strong="G1453", take|strong="G3880" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G3813" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" mother|strong="G3384", and|strong="G2532" seek|strong="G2212" refuge in|strong="G1519" Egypt; and|strong="G2532" stay there|strong="G1563" until|strong="G2193" I|strong="G2532" tell|strong="G3004" you|strong="G4771" to|strong="G1519" return, for|strong="G1063" Herod|strong="G2264" is|strong="G1510" about|strong="G3195" to|strong="G1519" search|strong="G2212" for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G2532" child|strong="G3813", to|strong="G1519" put|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" death.’

This|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" in|strong="G2532" fulfilment of|strong="G1537" these|strong="G3588" words|strong="G2532" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" prophet|strong="G4396", where|strong="G1563" he|strong="G2532" says|strong="G3004" –
16 When|strong="G2532" Herod|strong="G2264" found|strong="G2532" out|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G1722" astrologers had|strong="G2532" tricked|strong="G1702" him|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" flew into|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" rage. He|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" death all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G1722" boys in|strong="G1722" Bethlehem and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" whole|strong="G3956" of|strong="G5259" that|strong="G3754" region|strong="G3725", who|strong="G3739" were|strong="G3588" two|strong="G1332" years|strong="G1332" old|strong="G1332" or|strong="G2532" under|strong="G5259", guided by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" time|strong="G5550" which|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" learned from|strong="G3844" the|strong="G1722" astrologers.
