Text : Matthew
2:1-12
In the time of King
Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East
came to Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child who has been born king of the
Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him
homage.’ When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem
with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the
people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him,
‘In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: “And you,
Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of
Judah; for from you shall come a ruler
who is to shepherd my people Israel.” ’
Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact
time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go
and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me
word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’ When they had heard the
king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had
seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was.
When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On
entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt
down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered
him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a
dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another
road.
