Epiphany - We Three Kings of Orient Are
“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
