¹⁸Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.

    ¹⁹Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

    ²⁰But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.

    ²¹And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.

    ²²Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:

    ²³Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

    ²⁴And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

    ²⁵And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

   

Matthew 2

 ¹When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.

    ²Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him.

    ³And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

    ⁴And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.

    ⁵But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:

    ⁶And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.

    ⁷Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;

    ⁸And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come to adore him.

    ⁹Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.

    ¹⁰And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

    ¹¹And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
