Jan 7, 2022. Gospel Matt 2:1-12. Feria.

Matt 2:1-12 “2:1. When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king” “Herod, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, 2:2. Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. 2:3. And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 2:4. And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born. 2:5. But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet: 2:6. And 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. 2:7. Then Herod, privately calling the wise men learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;” “2:8. And 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 and adore him. 2:9. Who 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. 2:10. And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 2:11. And 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. 2:12. And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.” Excerpt From The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete Anonymous https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-bible-douay-rheims-complete/id955129088 This material may be protected by copyright.
