Matthew 21-11 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.
17
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
18
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.
19
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.
