Yet when Hor, king of Persia, heard who it was they called King of kings, he prepared his chariot and mounted it; Basantar also, king of Saba, came out; and Karsundas, king of the East, got himself ready and came out also.
2They were all in great tribulation, and also all other kings in the borders of the West trembled with them, and every country in the East was in great alarm at the sight of that glory.
3Then the Magi while on their journey said, "This star has not risen except for some great event", and they went on their way until they came to Jerusalem.
4Yet when Herod heard of it, he was troubled, and called the Magi to him, and communed with them; and they rehearsed unto him the [whole] thing.
5Then he and all his legion trembled; and he said to the Magi, "Go ye, and inquire diligently concerning this Child; and when ye have found Him, come and tell me, that I also may go and worship Him."
6Then the Magi went forthwith to Bethlehem, and found Christ, and offered Him their gifts, yet they did not return to Herod; they went back to their own country, and after they were gone, Herod was wroth, and commanded all children of 2 years and under, to be put to death.
7Then an angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph, and said to him, "Arise, and take the Child and His mother, and go to the land of Egypt; and abide there until I tell thee," and Joseph went into the land of Egypt,
8And then Herod began to slay all children, until he had not left one, and he died of an evil death, and after his death an angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in the land of Egypt.
9And Joseph came up out of Egypt, and dwelt at Nazareth, he, the child, and Mary His mother, and they abode at Jerusalem until Christ was 30 years of age, and was baptized by John.
10This John lived all his days in the wilderness, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
11And in the 19th year of Tiberius, our Lord Christ was crucified, he died in the body, and was buried, and rose again from among the dead on the third day; as it is written.
12And He went down into hell, and saved Adam and Eve, and all their righteous seed, according to His first and firm promise.
13And thus He fulfilled all that the prophets had prophesied concerning Him.
14He then went up into heaven; whence He will come again with His holy angels, to judge the quick and dead.
15Unto Him be glory, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power and worship for ever. Amen
