After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,

during the time of King Herod, Magi (Wise Men)

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. He 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 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).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
