1 Jesus was born in the town named Bethlehem, in Judea. King Herod was king. Wise men came from the east to the big city, Jerusalem. ⭐♂️♂️♂️ 2 The wise men said, "Where is the baby King? We saw His star in the east. We came to bow to Him." ⭐♂️ 3 When King Herod heard this, he was upset. All the people in Jerusalem were upset too. ️ 4 Herod called the big church men and the law teachers. He asked, "Where will God’s King be born?" ️❓ 5 They said, "In Bethlehem in Judea." ️ 6 God’s book said, "Bethlehem, you are small, but a leader will come from you. He will care for My people." 7 Then Herod met the wise men in secret. He asked when the star first came. ⭐ 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Find the child. Tell me, so I can go bow too." 9 After they heard the king, the wise men went. The star went ahead and stopped over the place where the child was. ⭐ 10 When they saw the star stop, they were very, very happy. ⭐ 11 They went in the house. They saw the child Jesus with His mom Mary. They bowed to Him. They gave gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. ♂️ 12 God warned them in a dream, "Do not go back to Herod." So they went home by a new way. ➡️ 13 After they left, an angel came to Joseph in a dream. The angel said, "Get up. Take the child and His mom. Go to Egypt. Stay there. Herod wants to hurt Him." ♂️➡️ 14 Joseph got up. He took the child and His mom at night and left for Egypt. ♂️ 15 They stayed in Egypt until Herod died. This made God’s old words come true: "I called My Son out of Egypt." ⏳➡️ 16 Herod saw the wise men did not come back. He got very mad. He sent men to hurt all the little boys in Bethlehem, age two and under. 17 Then God’s old words by His man Jeremiah came true. ✅ 18 It said: "A mom cried loud in Ramah. Rachel cried for her kids. She would not stop, for they were gone." 19 After Herod died, an angel came to Joseph in a dream in Egypt. 20 The angel said, "Get up. Take the child and His mom. Go to Israel. The ones who wanted to hurt Him are gone." ⬆️➡️ 21 Joseph got up. He took the child and His mom and went to Israel. ♂️ 22 But Joseph heard that Archelaus, Herod’s son, was king in Judea. He was afraid to go there. God warned him in a dream, so he went to Galilee. ➡️ 23 They lived in a town named Nazareth. This made God’s old words come true: "He will be called a Nazarene."
