Matthew 2:1-12
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King
Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is
the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the
east and have come to worship him." When King Herod heard this he
was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called
together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he
asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in
Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:"
'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least
among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who
will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'" Then Herod called the
Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had
appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a
careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to
me, so that I too may go and worship him." After they had heard the
king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the
east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the
child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming
to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they
bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and
presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And
having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they
returned to their country by another route.
