MATTHEW 2 Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that
time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn
king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
3 King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem. 4 He
called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, “Where is the
Messiah supposed to be born?”
5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said, “for this is what the prophet wrote:
6 ‘And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities of Judah,
for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time
when the star first appeared. 8 Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for
the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”
9 After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided
them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10
When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! 11 They entered the house and saw the child
with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their
treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 When it was time to
leave, they returned to their own country by another route, for God had warned them in a dream
not to return to Herod.
13 After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!
Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother,” the angel said. “Stay there until I tell you to return,
because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” 14 That night Joseph left for Egypt
with the child and Mary, his mother, 15 and they stayed there until Herod’s death. This fulfilled
what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “I called my Son out of Egypt.”
16 Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers
to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, based on the
wise men’s report of the star’s first appearance. 17 Herod’s brutal action fulfilled what God had
spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:
18 “A cry was heard in Ramah—weeping and great mourning.
Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted, for they are dead.”
19 When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. 20 “Get up!”
the angel said. “Take the child and his mother back to the land of Israel, because those who
were trying to kill the child are dead.” 21 So Joseph got up and returned to the land of Israel with
Jesus and his mother. 22 But when he learned that the new ruler of Judea was Herod’s son
Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he left for the region
of Galilee. 23 So the family went and lived in a town called Nazareth. This fulfilled what the
prophets had said: “He will be called a Nazarene.”

JESUS ESCAPES THE LION’S MOUTH
God is famous for concealing mysterious things; scientists are famous
for discovering them. Paraphrase of Proverbs 25:2
Satan knew well that the Messiah was about to be sent from
heaven to earth. But Satan is not all-knowing. Satan also wants
to neutralize you.
The Savants Come To The Levant vv 1-12
The Maji were the scientists/academics of the day.
The role of science is to observe & discover creation
God had revealed the coming Messiah
The Levant Expels The Servant vv 13-23
God’s servants are the targets of Satan
God protects us variously (note Joseph’s 3 dreams)
Disciples are not comfortable or danger free
God will take care of you, so enjoy the adventure.
