Matthew 2:7-12

« Matt 1Matt 2Matt 3 »

7 Then Herod secretly called the magi and carefully determined from them ¹the time ^athe star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him.” 9 Now after hearing the king, they went their way; and behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, was going on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was. 10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And after coming into the house they saw the Child with ^aMary His mother; and they ¹fell to the ground and ^bworshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And having been ^awarned ^bin a dream not to return to Herod, the magi departed for their own country by another way.
