Now when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! there came magians from the East to Jerusalem,

saying, Where is the king of the Jews that hath been born? for we saw his star in the East, and came to do him homage.

When they had heard the king, they departed. And lo! the star, which they had seen in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over where the child was.

And I say to you, that many will come from the east and the west, and recline at table with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
