THE GUIDING STAR
Matthew 2:1-11
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship
him. 3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered
all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he
demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said
unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the
prophet, 6 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. 7 Then Herod, when he
had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what
time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and
said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye
have found [him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship
him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw
the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when
they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary
his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had
opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense, and myrrh.
