\subsubsection{The Visit of the Magi}
|
|
\VS{1} Now when \Iesous was born in \Bethlehem of \\Judea in the days of \Herod the king,
|
|
behold magi\fnMagos() from the east arrived in \Ieros
|
|
\VS{2} saying: Where is he having been brought forth, [the] King of the Jews?
|
|
For we saw his star in the East and came to worship him.
|
|
\VS{3} Now having heard [this] \Herod the king was troubled,
|
|
and all \Ieros with him.
|
|
\VS{4} And gathering all the chief-priests and scribes of the people
|
|
he asked from them where the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One] would be born.
|
|
\VS{5} And they said to him: In \Bethlehem of \Judea.
|
|
For thus it is written by the prophet\footnote{Mic.5:2},
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{6} And you \Bethlehem, land of \Judah \\
|
|
In no way are you least among the rulers of \Judah \\
|
|
For out of you shall come [a] ruler \\
|
|
Who will shepherd my people \Israel.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} Then \Herod having secretly called the magi\fnMagos(),
|
|
he exacted from them the time of the appearance of [the] star,
|
|
\label{matt2x8}
|
|
\VS{8} and having sent them to \Bethlehem he said:
|
|
Having gone, search out accurately concerning the child,
|
|
and when you find him, report to me, so that I also, having come, may worship him.
|
|
\VS{9} So having heard [this] from the king, they went.
|
|
And behold the star that they saw in the east led them until,
|
|
having come, it stood above where the child was.
|
|
\VS{10} And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
|
|
\VS{11} And having come to the house,
|
|
they saw the child with \Mary his mother, and having fallen down they worshipped him,
|
|
and having opened their treasures they brought to him gifts:
|
|
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
|
|
\VS{12} And having been warned in [a] dream not to return to \Herod,
|
|
by another road they withdrew to their own country.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Escape to Egypt}
|
|
\VS{13} Now when they returned, behold an angel of the Lord appears to \Joseph in [a] dream saying:
|
|
Having arisen, be taking the child and his mother, and be fleeing to Egypt,
|
|
and be there until I say [otherwise] to you.
|
|
For \Herod is about to be seeking the child to destroy him.
|
|
\VS{14} So having arisen he took the child and his mother by night and withdrew to Egypt.
|
|
\VS{15} And he was there until the death of \Herod,
|
|
in order that the [things] said by the Lord through the prophet
|
|
be fulfilled when he says\footnote{Hos.11:1}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Out of Egypt I called my son.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} When \Herod saw that he had been deceived by the magi\fnMagos()
|
|
he was extremely enraged, and having sent,
|
|
he carried off all the [male] children in \Bethlehem and all its environs from two years and under,
|
|
according to the time he exacted from the visionaries.
|
|
\VS{17} Then the [things] said through \Jeremiah the prophet were fulfilled
|
|
when he says\footnote{Jer.31:15}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{18} A sound was heard in Ram\'{a}, \\
|
|
Weeping and great wailing
|
|
\footnote{``weeping and great wailing'' DW \hesychian{}\koine{}; ``wailing'' \sinaiticus{}B \vulgate{}; }
|
|
and lamenting, \\
|
|
\Rachel wailing for her children, \\
|
|
And she will not be comforted, \\
|
|
For they are no more.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Return to \Nazareth}
|
|
\VS{19} Now \Herod having come to [his] end%
|
|
\footnote{i.e. ``having died''},
|
|
behold [an] angel of the Lord appears to \Joseph in a dream in Egypt
|
|
\VS{20} saying:
|
|
Having arisen, be taking the child and his mother and go to the land \Israel,
|
|
for those seeking the psyche-life\fnPsyche{} of the child have died.
|
|
\VS{21} So having arisen he took the child and his mother and entered into the land \Israel.
|
|
\VS{22} And having heard that Arch\'{e}laps was king of \Judea instead of his father \Herod,
|
|
he was afraid to depart from there.
|
|
And having been warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of \Galilee,
|
|
\VS{23} and having gone he dwelt in [a] city being called \Nazareth.
|
|
In this manner the [things] said through the prophet were fulfilled that
|
|
he will be called [a] \Nazarene.
