\subsubsection{The Visit of the Wise Men}
|
|
\VS{1} Now when \Iesous was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of \Herod the king,
|
|
behold visionaries\footnote{\MAGOS} from the east arrived in Jerusalem
|
|
\VS{2} saying: Where
|
|
is the [one] 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 Jerusalem 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 visionaries\footnote{\MAGOS}, 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
|
|
Ioseph 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 visionaries\footnote{\MAGOS} 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 Rama, \\
|
|
Great wailing
|
|
\footnote{``wailing'' \sinaiticus{}B \vulgate{}; ``weeping and wailing'' DW \hesychian{}\koine{}}
|
|
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 Ioseph 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 Archelaus 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.
