2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod
the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying,
“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star
when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king
heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and
assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired
of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem
of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
6 “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them
what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem,
saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found
him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” 9 After
listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that
they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over
the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced
exceedingly with great joy. 11 And going into the house they saw the
child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then,
opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense
and myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they
departed to their own country by another way.
11 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along
between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was
met by ten lepers, [6] who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up
their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he
saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”
And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he
saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;
16 and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he
was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed?
Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to
God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your
way; your faith has made you well.”
