Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, 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.
Da Herodes nu så, at han var bleven skuffet af de vise, blev han såre vred og sendte Folk hen og lod alle Drengebørn ihjelslå, som vare i Bethlehem og i hele dens Omegn, fra to År og derunder, efter den Tid, som han havde fået Besked om af de vise.
