but when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in publick, and made such an impression upon Herod,

for Herod having secur'd John, bound him, and put him in prison to please Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the reign of king Herod, certain eastern Magi came to Jerusalem, with this enquiry,

when king Herod heard these things, he was alarm'd, and all Jerusalem with him.

Then Herod having privately sent for the Magi, enquired of them the exact time when the star appeared.

but being divinely warn'd in a dream, not to go back to Herod, they returned into their own country another way.

When they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, take the infant and his mother, flee into Egypt, and don't stir thence till I order you, for Herod will endeavour to have the child destroy'd. Joseph therefore arose,

where he stay'd till the death of Herod: so that what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my son," was then fulfill'd.

Then Herod perceiving he was abused by the Magi, was full of indignation, and sent a detachment who slew all the children that were in Bethlehem and its territory, being under the age of two years, according to the limited time he had learnt of the Magi.

But after the death of Herod, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

but when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea, in the room of his father Herod, he was apprehensive of going thither, till having had a divine warning in a dream, he retired into the district of Galilee:

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

they answer'd, Cesar's. then said he to them, render therefore unto Cesar, the things which are Cesar's: and unto God, the things that are God's.
