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

And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For so it is written by the prophet,

But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in his father Herod's place, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.

In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

Then Jerusalem and all Judea went out to him, and all the region round about Jordan.

And great multitudes of people followed Him, from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond Jordan.

And it happened, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond Jordan.

Then let those in Judea flee into the mountains.
