After Jesus was born in
Bethlehem in
Judea, during the time of King Herod,
Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
And when they were departed,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and
flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
When the
Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and
flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.
Behold the fowls of the air: for they
sow not, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Look at the birds of the air: They do not
sow or
reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
