Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place ?
We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship .

he was troubled ,
and all Jerusalem with him .

And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people ,
questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be .

In Beth-lehem of Judaea ;
for so it is said in the writings of the prophet ,

You Beth-lehem ,
in the land of Judah ,
are not the least among the chiefs of Judah :
out of you will come a ruler ,
who will be the keeper of my people Israel .

Go and make certain where the young child is ;
and when you have seen him ,
let me have news of it ,
so that I may come and give him worship .

And after hearing the king ,
they went on their way ;
and the star which they saw in the east went before them ,
till it came to rest over the place where the young child was .

And when they saw the star they were full of joy .
bbe @

and saw the young child with Mary ,
his mother ;
and falling down on their faces they gave him worship ;
and from their store they gave him offerings of gold ,
perfume ,
and spices .
bbe @
Matthew:2:12 @
And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod ;
so they went into their country by another way .
