WISE MEN FROM THE EAST!

WISE MEN FROM THE EAST



MATTHEW 2: 1-2, 7-12

1 Now after Jesus was born in

 Bethlehem of Judea in the days of

 Herod the king, behold, wise men

 from the East came to Jerusalem, 

2 saying, “Where is He who has been 

born King of the Jews? For we have 

seen His star in the East and have come

 to worship Him.”

7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, 

that I may come and worship Him also.”

9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 

11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

12 Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

NOTE:

MOST CHRISTMAS SCENES SHOW 

THREE WISE MEN. THE BIBLE BOOK 

OF MATTHEW DOES NOT SAY HOW

MANY WISE MEN VISITED JESUS.
