But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

When King Herod heard this he was alarmed, and all Jerusalem with him.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard reports about Jesus,

Then Herod privately summoned the wise men and determined from them when the star had appeared.

After being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back by another route to their own country.

After Herod had died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem

For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

He stayed there until Herod died. In this way what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet was fulfilled: “I called my Son out of Egypt.”

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. After being warned in a dream, he went to the regions of Galilee.

After they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to look for the child to kill him.”

When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he became enraged. He sent men to kill all the children in Bethlehem and throughout the surrounding region from the age of two and under, according to the time he had learned from the wise men.
