1 Pues quando hubo nacido Jesús en Bethlehem de Judá en tiempo de Herodes el Rey, he aquí unos Magos viniéron del Oriente á Jerusalém,
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 Diciendo: ¿Dónde está el Rey de los Judíos, que ha nacido? porque vimos su estrella en el Oriente, y venimos á adorarle.
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
3 Y el Rey Herodes, quando lo oyó, se turbó, y toda Jerusalém con él.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Y convocando todos los Príncipes de los Sacerdotes y los Escribas del pueblo, les preguntaba, donde habia de nacer el Christo.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Y ellos le dixéron: En Bethlehém de Judá: porque asi está escrito por el Propheta:
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
6 Y tú, Bethlehém, tierra de Judá, no eres la menor entre las principales de Judá, porque de tí saldrá el Caudillo, que gobernará á mi pueblo de Israél.
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
7 Entonces Herodes, llamando en secreto á los Magos, se informó de ellos cuidadosamente del tiempo, en que les apareció la estrella:
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Y encaminándolos á Bethlehém, les dixo: Id, é informáos bien del Niño: y quando le hubiéreis hallado, hacedmelo saber, para que yo también vaya á adorarle.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
9 Ellos, luego que esto oyéron del Rey, se fuéron. Y he aquí la estrella, que habían visto en el Oriente, iba delante de ellos, hasta que llegando, se paró sobre donde estaba el Niño.
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Y quando vieron la estrella, se regocijáron en gran manera.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Y entrando en la casa, halláron al Niño con María su madre, y postrándose le adoráron; y abiertos sus thesoros, le ofreciéron dones, oro, incienso y myrrha.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Y habida respuesta en sueños, que no volviesen á Herodes,se volvieron á su tierra por otro camino.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Despues que ellos se fuéron, he aquí un Angel del Señor apareció en sueños a Joseph, y le dixo: Levántate, y toma al Niño, y a su madre, y huye á Egypto, y estáte allí hasta que yo te lo diga, porque ha de acontecer, que Herodes busque al Niño para matarle.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
14 Levantándose Joseph, tomó al Niño, y á su madre de noche, y se retiró á Egypto:
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
15 Y permaneció allí hasta la muerte de Herodes, para que se cumpliese lo que había hablado el Señor por el Propheta, que dice: De Egypto llamé á mi Hijo.
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
16 Entónces Herodes, quando vió, que había sido burlado por los Magos, se irritó mucho; y enviando hizo matar todos los niños, que habia en Bethlehém y en toda su comarca de dos años y abaxo, conforme al tiempo, que había averiguado de los Magos.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
17 Entónces fué cumplido lo que se había dicho por Jeremías el propheta, que dice:
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 Voz fué oída en Ramá, llóro, y mucho lamento: Rachel llorando sus hijos, y no quiso ser consolada, porque no son.
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Y habiendo muerto Herodes, he aquí el Angel del Señor apareció en sueños á Joseph en Egypto,
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Diciendo: Levántate, y toma al Niño, y á su madre, y vete á tierra de Israél, porque muertos son los que querían matar al Niño.
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
21 Levantándose Joseph, tomó al Niño, y á su madre, y se vino para tierra de Israél.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Mas oyendo, que Archêláo reynaba en la Judéa en lugar de Herodes su padre, temió de ir allá: y avisado en sueños, se retiró á las tierras de Galiléa.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
23 Y vino á morar en una ciudad que se llama Nazaréth: para que se cumpliese lo que habían dicho los Prophetas: Que será llamado Nazareno.
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We have need of much wakefulness, and many prayers, that we may arrive at the interpretation of the passage now before us, and that we may learn who these wise men were, and whence they came, and how; and at whose persuasion, and what was the star.

"Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared:" Attempting to slay that which was born,--an act of extreme idiotcy not of madness only; since what had been said and done was enough to have withholden him from any such attempt.
