Now
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the day of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where
is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the
east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these
things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had
gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he
demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him,
In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou
Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of
Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people
Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired
of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to
Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child, and
when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship
him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and , lo, the
star which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and
stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the
house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and
worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they
presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being
warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they
departed into their own country another way.
