Epiphany - Kings from the Orient
“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,
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. And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by 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, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them
diligently what time the star appeared. 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. 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. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.”
- Matthew 2: 1-10
