Mt 2, 1-23

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 "And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when all of you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. " 9 "When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. " 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. " 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. 21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Lk 2:4 - "And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) "

Verš 18

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Jer 31:15 - "Thus says the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. "

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

Mt 2,1 - Náš kresťanský letopočet (aera Dionysia) kladie Ježišovo narodenie o niekoľko rokov neskôr, ako sa Ježiš skutočne narodil. Narodil sa totiž ešte za kráľa Herodesa Veľkého a ten kraľoval nad Judeou, Idumeou a Samáriou od roku 37 do roku 4 pred Kr. Zomrel krátko pred Veľkou nocou (začiatkom apríla) roku 4 pred Kr. v Jerichu, kde strávil zimu ťažko chorý. Ježiš sa teda narodil ešte pred rokom 6 alebo 7 pred kresťanským letopočtom. Chybu v počítaní urobil mních Dionýzius v 6. storočí.

Mt 2,2 - Mudrci sa v gréckom texte volajú »mágoi« (mágovia). Pomenovanie označuje perzských kňazov, ktorí pre svoju učenosť boli aj kráľovskými poradcami. Zaoberali sa prírodovedou, najmä hvezdárstvom a veštením z polohy hviezd. Božia prozreteľnosť ich zjavom nezvyčajnej hviezdy priviedla k nohám novonarodeného Kráľa a Spasiteľa. Nevedno, koľko ich bolo. Z počtu darov sa usudzuje, že boli traja.

Mt 2,6 - Mich 5, 1.

Mt 2,15 - Oz 11, 1.

Mt 2,18 - Jer 31, 15.Ráchel mala iba dvoch synov: Jozefa a Benjamína. Tu akoby zastupovala matky vyvoleného národa, ktoré žalostne nariekajú, keď ich synov odvádzali do krutého zajatia. Tomuto náreku boli podobné výkriky betlehemských matiek, keď im vraždili ich synov. Ráchel bola pochovaná vedľa cesty vedúcej do Betlehema.

Mt 2,23 - Toto upozornenie na prorocké slovo sa zakladá pravdepodobne na podobnosti slov Nazaret (i Nazara) a »nezer«. »Nezer« sa vyskytuje u proroka Izaiáša (11, 1) a znamená ratolesť, ktorá vyrastie z koreňa rodu Jesseho. Tento »výhonok« alebo »ratolesť« označuje Mesiáša. Aj meno Nazaret pochádza z toho istého koreňa.
