The
Birth of Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior
This is how the
birth of Jesus Christ came about: His
mother Mary was pledged to be married
to Joseph, but before they came together,
she was found to be with child through
the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband
was a righteous man and did not want to
expose her to public disgrace, he had
in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel
of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said, "Joseph son of David, do not
be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from
the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to
a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus, because he will save his people
from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the
Lord had said through the prophet: "The
virgin will be with child and will give
birth to a son, and they will call him
Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel
of the Lord had commanded him and took
Mary home as his wife. But he had no union
with her until she gave birth to a son.
And he gave him the name Jesus.
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,
during the time of King Herod, Magi from
the east came to Jerusalem and asked,
"Where is the one who has been born king
of the Jews? We saw his star in the east
and have come to worship him."
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed,
and all Jerusalem with him. When he had
called together all the people's chief
priests and teachers of the law, he asked
them where the Christ was to be born.
"In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied,
"for this is what the prophet has written:
"'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers
of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler
who will be the shepherd of my people
Israel.'" Then Herod called the Magi secretly
and found out from them the exact time
the star had appeared. He sent them to
Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful
search for the child. As soon as you find
him, report to me, so that I too may go
and worship him."
After they had heard the king, they went
on their way, and the star they had seen
in the east went ahead of them until it
stopped over the place where the child
was. When they saw the star, they were
overjoyed.
On coming to the house, they saw the child
with his mother Mary, and they bowed down
and worshiped him. Then they opened their
treasures and presented him with gifts
of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And
having been warned in a dream not to go
back to Herod, they returned to their
country by another route.
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord
appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up,"
he said, "take the child and his mother
and escape to Egypt. Stay there until
I tell you, for Herod is going to search
for the child to kill him."
So he got up, took the child and his mother
during the night and left for Egypt, where
he stayed until the death of Herod. And
so was fulfilled what the Lord had said
through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called
my son."
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted
by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave
orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem
and its vicinity who were two years old
and under, in accordance with the time
he had learned from the Magi. Then what
was said through the prophet Jeremiah
was fulfilled: "A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping
for her children and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more."
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord
appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
and said, "Get up, take the child and
his mother and go to the land of Israel,
for those who were trying to take the
child's life are dead."
So he got up, took the child and his mother
and went to the land of Israel. But when
he heard that Archelaus was reigning in
Judea in place of his father Herod, he
was afraid to go there. Having been warned
in a dream, he withdrew to the district
of Galilee, and he went and lived in a
town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled
what was said through the prophets: "He
will be called a Nazarene." |
