Matthew 2:8-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go, inquire carefully concerning the child, and when you have found him, report to me so that I also may come and worship him.”

9. After they listened to the king, they went out, and behold, the star which they had seen at its rising led them until it came and stood above the place where the child was.

10. Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.

11. And when they came into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

12. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route.

13. Now after they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.”

14. So he got up and took the child and his mother during the night and went away to Egypt.
