Wise men still seek Him
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.
Matthew 2:1-12 NIV
