Matth. 2. Verse. 1. When Jesus then was borne at Bethlehem in Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, 2. Saying, where is that king of the Jews that is borne? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him. 3. When king Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him: 4. And gathering together all the chief Priests and Scribes of the people, he asked of them, where Christ should be borne. 5. And they said unto him, at Bethlehem in Judea: for so it is written by the Prophet, 6. And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah, art not the least among the Princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come the governor, that shall feed that my people Israel. 7. Then Herod privily called the wise men, and diligently inquired of them the time of the star that appeared. 8.

And went into the house, and found the child with Mary his mother, and fell down, & worshipped him, and opened their treasures and presented unto him gifts, even gold, & frankincense, and myrrh.
