Matthew 2:1-12 - Wise Men Visit Jesus

¹ Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem: ² saying - Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.

³ But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; ⁴ and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them - Where is, the Christ, to be born?

⁵ And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, - for, so, is it written through the prophet:

⁶ And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, - For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.

⁷ Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star; ⁸ and sending them to Bethlehem, said - Go search out accurately concerning the child, - and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.

⁹ Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was; ¹⁰ and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy; ¹¹ and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, - and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts - gold and frankincense and myrrh; ¹² and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
