#@Visitors from the East2 Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea, during the time when Herod was king. Soon afterward, sone men who studied the stars came from the East to Jerusalem 2and asked, "Where is the baby born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star when it came up in the east, and we have come to worship him."
3When King Herod heard about this, he was very upset, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. 4He called together all the chief priests and the teachers of the Law and asked them, "Where will the Messiah be born?"
5 "In the town of Bethlehem in Judea, " they answered. For this is what the prophet wrote:
6 'Bethlehem un the land of Judah, you are by no means the least of the leading cities of Judah; for from you will come a leader who will guide my peopke Israel.' "
7So Herod called the visitors from the East to a secret meeting and found out from the exact time the star had appeared. 8Then he sent them to Bethlehem with these instructions: "Go and make a careful search for the child; and when you find him, let me know, so that I too may go and worship him."
9-10And so they left, and on their way they saw the same star they had seen in the East. When they saw it, how happy they were, what joy was theirs! It went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 11They went into the house, and when they saw the child with his mother Mary, they knelt down and worshiped him. They brought out their gift of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and presented them to him.
12Then they returned to their country by another road, since God had warned them un a dream not to back to Herod.
