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."
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 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.
12 Then, being divinely warned (Job 33:15, 16); Matt. 1:20in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.
