Matthew 2

Now

after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold,

wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?

For we saw his star when it rose

and have come to worship him.”

Matthew 2

When Herod the king heard this,

he was troubled,

and all Jerusalem with him;

Matthew 2

and assembling all the chief priests

and scribes of the people,

he inquired of them

where the Christ was to be born.

Matthew 2

“In Bethlehem of Judea,

for so it is written by the prophet:

Matthew 2

“‘And you,

O Bethlehem,

in the land of Judah,

are by no means

least among the rulers of Judah;

for from you shall come a ruler

who willshepherd my people Israel.’”

Matthew 2:7

Then Herod

summoned the wise men

secretly and ascertained from them

what time the star had appeared

Matthew 2

“Go and search diligently for the child,

and

when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”

Philippians 2:1

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

Philippians

complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Philippians 2:3

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit,

but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Philippians 2:4

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Philippians 2:5

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:6

who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Philippians 2:7

but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,

being born in the likeness of men.

Philippians 2:8

And being found in human form,

he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Philippians 2:9

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

Philippians 2:10

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Philippians 2:11

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
