Matthew 2:6-11

6‘1And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, Are by no means least among the leaders of Judah; For from you will come forth a Ruler Who will 2shepherd My people Israel.’”

7Then Herod secretly called for the magi and determined from them the exact 3time 4the star appeared. 8And 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.” 9After hearing the king, they went on their way; and behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went on ahead of them until it came to a stop over the place where the Child was to be found. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11And after they came into the house, they saw the Child with 5His mother Mary; and they fell down and 6 7worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
