exceeding great joy. Matthew 2:10 |

Wise men still seek Him
 |
||
ow 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,
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.
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people
together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born."
(Matthew 2:1-4)
|
||
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, (Matthew 2:5) |
||
|
||
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.
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.
