When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the reign of king Herod, certain eastern Magi came to Jerusalem, with this enquiry, Where is this king of the Jews who is now born? for we have seen his rising star, and are come to pay him homage. when king Herod heard these things, he was alarm'd, and all Jerusalem with him. read more.
and having assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them where Christ was to be born. they answered him, in Bethlehem of Judea: for these are the words of the prophet; "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor that shall rule my people Israel." Then Herod having privately sent for the Magi, enquired of them the exact time when the star appeared. and he sent them to Bethlehem, go, said he, make an exact enquiry about the young child, and when ye have found him, let me know it, that I too may come and pay my adorations to him. in obedience to the king, they departed, and immediately the star which they saw in the east, moved on before them, till it came to the place where the infant was, and then stood still. when they observ'd this of the star, they were extreamly well pleas'd. and entring into the house, they saw the infant with Mary his mother, and prostrating themselves, they worshipped him: then opening their treasures, they presented him with gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
