After Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea during the reign of King Herod, wise men arrived in Jerusalem from the east

and asked, "Where is the one who was born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."

After listening to the king, they set out, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.

I tell all of you, many will come from east and west and will feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom from heaven.

because just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
