1 When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem,
ⲁ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲃⲏⲑⲗⲉⲉⲙ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ. ⲉⲓⲥϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲅⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲙⲁⲛϣⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑ̅ⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
2 Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him.

3 When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.

4 And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne.

5 And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet,

6 And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel.

7 Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared,

8 And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him.
ⲏ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲏⲑⲗⲉⲉⲙ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲓⲉⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ.
9 So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was.

10 And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy,
ⲓ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ.
11 And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.

12 And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go againe to Herod, they returned into their countrey another way.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲉⲓⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲣⲁⲥⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϣⲁϩⲏⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛⲕⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁⲩⲁⲛⲁⲭⲱⲣⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲭⲟⲣⲁ.
13 After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.

14 So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,

15 And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.

16 Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the Wisemen, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the male children that were in Beth-leem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeere old and vnder, according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the Wisemen.

18 In Rhama was a voyce heard, mourning, and weeping, and great howling: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not.

22 But whe he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in stead of his father Herod, he was afraide to go thither: yet after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galile,
