Christ directed the wise men.

MATTHEW, 111. days of Herod the king, behold, A. D. 27. there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2 Saying, Where is he that is born a King of the Jews? for we have seen his starb in the east, and are come to worship c him.

4 And when he had gathered d all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea : for thus it is written e by the prophet,

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy p the prophet, saying,

18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead q which sought the young child's life.

N those days came John a the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken ofb by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 And the same John had his raiment c of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts d and wild honey.

5 Then went out to him Jerusa lem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan,

6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing e their sins.

7 T But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them. O generation ƒ of vipers, who hath

for it is written, He e shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou ƒ shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou g shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels h came and ministered unto him.

12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was 1 cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, i saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

16 The people which sat in darkness k saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began ¶ to preach, and to say, Repent: for? the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 T And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon m called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: (for they were fishers.)

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers n of men.

20 And they straightway left o their nets, and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethrenp James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
