Fear not: for, behold,
Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to
all people.

which is Christ the Lord.

15 And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away
from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste,
and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it,
they made known
abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it
wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these
things,
and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all the things
that they had heard and seen, as
it was told unto them.”

1.2.3 The Visit of the Magi (Mateus 2:1-12)
1.2.3.1 Baby Jesus meeting the Wise Men of the West
“Matthew 2
1 Now
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea
in the days of Herod the king, behold,
in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem
2
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in
the east,
and are come to worship him.
3 When
Herod the king had heard these things,
he was troubled, and all Jerusalem
4 And
when he had gathered 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 Judaea:
for thus it is written by the
prophet,
6 And
thou Bethlehem , in the land
of Juda ,
art not the least among the princes of Juda:
art not the least among the princes of Juda:
for out of thee shall come a Governor,
that shall rule my
people Israel
7 Then
Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently
what time the star appeared.
8 And he
sent them to Bethlehem
Go and search diligently for the young child;
and when ye have found
him, bring me word again,
that I may come and worship him also.
9 When
they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which they saw in
the east, went before them,
till it came and stood over where the young child
was.
10 When
they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And
when they were come into the house,
hey saw the young child with Mary his
mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their
treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold,
and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And
being warned of God in a dream
that they should not return to Herod,
they
departed into their own country another way.”
