      6 And having sent away the

       chief priests, he enquired of the

       wise men in the town-hall, and

       said unto them, What sign was it

       ye saw concerning the king that is

       born?

      7 They answered him, We saw

       an extraordinary large star shining

       among the stars of heaven, and so

       out-shined all the other stars, as

       that they became not visible, and

       we knew thereby that a great king

       was born in Israel, and therefore

       we are come to worship him.

      8 Then said Herod to them, Go

       and make diligent inquiry; and if

       ye find the child, bring me word

       again, that I may come and worship

       him also.

      9 So the wise men went forth,

       and behold, the star which they

       saw in the east went before them,

       till it came and stood over the cave

       where the young child was with

       Mary his mother.

      10 Then they brought forth out

       of their treasures, and offered unto

       him gold and frankincense, and

       myrrh.

      11 And being warned in a dream

       by an angel, that they should not

       return to Herod through Judaea,

       they departed into their own country

       by another way.

      CHAPTER XVI.

      1 Herod enraged, orders the infants in Bethlehem to be slain.

       2 Mary puts her infant in an ox-manger.

       3 Elizabeth flees with her son John to the mountains.

       6 A mountain miraculously divides and receives them.

       9 Herod incensed at the escape of John, causes Zacharias

       to be murdered at the altar.

       23 The roofs of the temple rent, the body miraculously

       conveyed, and the blood petrified.

       25 Israel mourns for him.

       27 Simeon chosen his successor by lot.

      THEN Herod perceiving that

       he was mocked by the wise

       men, and being very angry,

       commanded certain men to go and

       to kill all the children that were

       in Bethlehem, from two years old

       and under.

      2 But Mary hearing that the

       children were to be killed, being

       under much fear, took the child,

       and wrapped him up in swaddling

       clothes, and laid him in an ox-

       manger, because there was no

       room for them in the inn.

      3 Elizabeth also, hearing that

       her son John was about to be

       searched for, took him and went

       up unto the mountains, and looked

       around for a place to hide him;

      4 And there was no secret place

       to be found.

      5 Then she groaned within herself,

       and said, O mountain of the Lord,

       receive the mother with the child.

      6 For Elizabeth could not climb up,

      7 And instantly the mountain

       was divided and received them.

      8 And there appeared to them

       an angel of the Lord to preserve

       them.

      9 But Herod made search after

       John, and sent servants to Zacharias,

       when he was (ministering) at the altar,

       and said unto him, Where hast thou hid

       thy son?

      10 He replied, to them, I am a

       minister of God, and a servant at

       the altar: how should I know

       where my son is?

      11 So the servants went back,

       and told Herod the whole; at

       which he was incensed, and said,

       Is not this son of his like to be

       king of Israel?

      12 He sent therefore again his

       servants to Zacharias, saying, Tell

       us the truth, where is thy son, for

       you know that your life is in my

       hand.

      13 So the servants went and told

       him all this:
