How to search for exact text using xpath and regex?

Question

An html paragraph contains the text Join {text} Now, or Join {text} Today. The xpath locator I created for this does not work. How do I make it work ?

//p[matches(text(), 'Join.*/^Today$/|/^Now$/')]

I created one on the http://regexr.com/. Is stayed like this: \bJoin.*(\bToday|\bNow). Try it.
