Wise Men from the East
1 Now after Mic. 5:2; Luke 2:4–7Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men Gen. 25:6; 1 Kin. 4:30from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, Luke 2:11"Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen (Num. 24:17; Is. 60:3)His star in the East and have come to worship Him."
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, Ps. 72:10; Is. 60:6they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Massacre of the Innocents
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.
